A 1950’s 2
bedroom, 1 bath rambler was in need of a major renovation. In effort to
preserve the original structure, an addition was dessigned to create a
new attached structure. Design development proved challenging to
maximize the footprint while avoiding a new septic system, existing well
head and adjacent wetland.
The result was a 5,200 square foot 3-story modern farmhouse-style
addition, converting the existing 1,700 square foot house to a home
office and equipment storage with final budget at $2,041,708. The
uniquely sophisticated architectural design conceals a complicated
structure beneath a wide variety of durable materials that honor
turn-of-the-century charm.
The combined structure is a welcome addition to the community rich in
farming heritage, and allows its occupants and guests barrier-free
access to the front door, throughout the main floor, basement, bedrooms
and repurposed adjacent office.
