This remodel began with a modest ranch-style home that was in need of updating and a bit more space for the growing family. One of the main challenges we faced was the central location of the stairs, which limited our design possibilities. After careful consideration, we decided to relocate the stairs—and it was absolutely the right choice. This change unlocked numerous design opportunities and gave us the flexibility to create the open, functional layout we envisioned.

The exterior design was just as important as the interior. We thoughtfully incorporated a raised shed roof above the kitchen, not only to add height and light to the space but also to enhance the home’s curb appeal. Drawing inspiration from a modern farmhouse aesthetic, we focused on creating a space that felt both fresh and inviting, with an emphasis on openness and natural light.

But the transformation didn’t end there. The addition also includes a spacious pantry, a mudroom, a laundry room, and a master bedroom with an en suite bathroom. The result is a stylish, functional home that combines modern design with timeless farmhouse charm—an ideal space for both relaxation and everyday living.
