This ground-up addition seamlessly expanded a cherished Winter Park cottage, blending new construction with the home's existing character so naturally that the two feel as though they were always one.
Designed to honor the original home's traditional farmhouse aesthetic, the addition introduces a wood-beamed gabled entry, standing seam metal roof, crisp white lap siding, and a flagstone courtyard that bridges old and new with effortless charm. A screened porch, composite deck, and lush cottage-style landscaping create inviting outdoor spaces that extend the living area and take full advantage of the Florida climate.
Inside, the new spaces mirror the warmth and craftsmanship of the original home. Rich walnut hardwood floors, crown molding, wainscoting, and picture frame wall details maintain a consistent language of quality throughout. The expanded kitchen features white shaker cabinetry, soapstone countertops, brass fixtures, open shelving, and a generous island — a space that is both highly functional and deeply personal. A walk-in pantry, butler's pantry, and a beautifully appointed laundry room with floor-to-ceiling built-in cabinetry and herringbone brick flooring ensure every square foot was designed with intention.
The result is an addition that doesn't announce itself — it simply makes the home feel complete.
