Located on a tight urban corner lot in the heart of the Bungalow Haven Historic District, this renovation and addition was faced with the unique challenge of preserving historic integrity and providing the necessary space and amenities for modern living. A 480 sq. ft. addition to this 1,085 sq. ft. home was achieved by expanding and finishing a partially exposed basement area. A stair was inserted to provide interior connection to the lower level serving two new bedrooms, an added bathroom, laundry and playroom. While maintaining the original master bedroom and bathroom, the remaining upper floor was reconfigured to create an open living, dining and kitchen space. Both interior and exterior detailing were restored to preserve this prime example of an understated 1920’s craftsman bungalow.
