Wellesley Addition
This addition was done on a little side street in Wellesley, and is one of our most remarkable transformations.
We started with a little, 1 bed, 700sf cape and cut the back wall off the foundation so we could extend both the basement and the first floor back an additional 20 feet. Then we took the roof off the first floor and built a new second story over the expanded footprint.
The final product was a 2800sf home with 4 bedrooms, a master suite, 3.5 bathrooms and huge finished basement. We also made the attic a walk-up, so there was the potential to finish that space as well.
Home's initial value: $500k
Addition investment: $450k
Renovated value: $1.49 million
