After a trip to Hawaii, this couple brought home an idea. They wanted to have a lanai of their own here in Newton. But. They only had a small, ugly public space to work with at their condominium home with difficult permitting and setback limitations. This incredibly useful and beautiful landscape is theirs. They even have winter use of a heated spa to ease arthritis along with colorful and functional entertaining spaces (with an outdoor kitchen) that they use constantly in the summer.

This home underwent significant floorplan changes to create spaces that are better aligned with modern living. For example, removing the back staircase allows for a spacious mudroom with a rustic floor.
