Rediscovering mid-century beauty.

Like many older homes, this 1960s home had great bones but was in dire need of an update. The kitchen was unlivable, and the stair was so narrow and dark, and so close to the front door that it was a safety hazard. We gained more space for a modern mid-century inspired kitchen by enclosing a recessed porch. All the main floor windows were replaced and clerestory windows were added to bring in even more natural light. We added a spacious elevated deck to create the opportunity for outdoor living connected to the main living space. The stair was reworked to be comfortable, safe, and beautiful. We showcased the best original features of the home—the post and beam structure and the expressive stone fireplace. All these changes resulted in a home that retains its modern mid-century vibe but is now comfortable and safe for a family of four.
