Ranch Re-Do

"We love the neighborhood, but we HATE the way our house looks!" So said the owners, who - with a very limited budget - wanted their home to both have 'curb appeal' and to improve their small kitchen. The solution was to remove the ominous and ugly carport from the front and center of the house, remove the U-shaped driveway which took up the entire front yard, and to provide a new sheltered carport to one side, with a small, central entrance addition. The addition provides both a new Mudroom, as well as a sunny new dining nook to expand the cramped kitchen space. Other work included removing walls to open flow between rooms and new windows throughout. The front lawn is now reclaimed for new yard and gardens, and the owners are thrilled that they now have a vastly-improved interior as well as 'curb appeal'!
