This 1960s split-level home desperately needed a change - not bigger space, just better. We removed the walls between the kitchen, living, and dining rooms to create a large open concept space that still allows a clear definition of space, while offering sight lines between spaces and functions. Homeowners preferred an open U-shape kitchen rather than an island to keep kids out of the cooking area during meal-prep, while offering easy access to the refrigerator and pantry. Green glass tile, granite countertops, shaker cabinets, and rustic reclaimed wood accents highlight the unique character of the home and family. The mix of farmhouse, contemporary and industrial styles make this house their ideal home. Outside, new lap siding with white trim, and an accent of shake shingles under the gable. The new red door provides a much needed pop of color. Landscaping was updated with a new brick paver and stone front stoop, walk, and landscaping wall.

Project Details: We completely updated the look of this home with help from James Hardie siding and Renewal by Andersen windows. Here's a list of the products and colors used. - Iron Gray JH Lap Siding - Boothbay Blue JH Staggered Shake - Light Mist JH Board & Batten - Arctic White JH Trim - Simulated Double-Hung Farmhouse Grilles (RbA) - Double-Hung Farmhouse Grilles (RbA) - Front Door Color: Behr paint in the color, Script Ink
