House On A Hill

BEFORE
Although this home in the hills appeared to consist of two full stories, it – in fact- was sitting upon a lot of unused square footage under the main -and only- level of the home.

DURING
In order to prepare the land for a 1300 square foot addition, we had to start with the proper dig out. We needed enough space under the existing home to create the desired 9 ft ceiling height.

DURING
To create an aesthetically pleasing addition, we followed the same lines as the existing exterior walls.

DURING
In order to achieve the desired amount of living space, we incorporated a 120 square foot “bump out” with a gable roof for the new master bathroom.

DURING
The home is “dried in” and ready for the new deck to be built.

DURING
This view is from the new dining area looking into the living room and (to the left) will be part of the new kitchen.

DURING
The dining area will match the shape of the breakfast nook on the main level of the home.

DURING
The master bathroom soaking tub and shower pan are on site, and all the rough electrical and plumbing is complete.

DURING
The bathroom is being prepped to receive tile.

AFTER
The shower is complete with 12×24 tile running vertical from floor to ceiling, and a “waterfall” accent that matches the tub surround.

AFTER
The master bathroom is complete with tile floors, linen cabinet, and a double vanity to match the cabinets in the rest of the home.

AFTER
The trim work consists of finger jointed ½”x 6” base trim, 1×4 door and window casing, and 5/4” headers with 1×2 caps. The variable widths of the trim work create added dimension and a nice sturdy craftsman feel.

AFTER
The guest bathroom is a perfect place to add a little “splash” of interest!

DURING
With the drywall complete, it is time to set the new cabinets and see the kitchen come to life. The composite Coreguard sink base is specifically designed to handle any leaks or spills that may occur under the sink.

AFTER
The kitchen is complete with quartz countertops, beautiful dark cabinets, glass subway tile, and LVP flooring. The feeling of openness and unity was created by including a pass through, which allows the kitchen and living room to be connected without sacrificing wall space for upper and lower cabinets. The matching bar top creates a convenient place for drinks and appetizers when the guests arrive.

AFTER
A micro-hood above the range helps keep the countertops clear. Undercabinet LED’s provide functional task lighting as well as good ambience when dim lighting is desired. The kitchen, and the home, is ready for the family to enjoy!
