The owners wanted to improve the back of their home as it had too many small spaces for their needs. At the same time, they wanted to maintain their home's character. Levitch reworked ​the ​first story including opening up ​the ​enclosed front porch and remodeling the Kitchen, Nook, and Bathroom. A Bedroom became a Family Room and new stairs. Throughout the home, eclectic touches and color fuse traditional and modern.

The two-story addition expanded the back of the home and created three Bedrooms, a Bathroom, a Study and two balconies above. Large windows in the stairwell and skylights bring in lots of natural light. To help the addition blend in, Levitch matched roof pitches, windows and siding at the upper story to the existing home. The partial second-story addition and the way it's massed are also sensitive to a neighborhood of mostly single-story homes.
