A Home That Grew a Kitchen, a Garage, and a New Life
This Lake Sherwood project paired a whole-home remodel with a garage and kitchen addition, expanding the house where it lived smallest and refinishing everything the family touches in a day: kitchen, dining, living room, and the primary suite.
A Kitchen Worth Adding Square Footage For
The addition made room for the kitchen the house never had: a professional range under a full hood, white cabinetry to the ceiling, and workspace generous enough that two cooks stop negotiating. Because the addition was designed with the house rather than onto it, the new rooms read as original, which is the entire trick of addition work in a community this established.
One Flow From Table to Fireplace
Dining, kitchen, and family room now run as a single connected space, with wide-plank floors carrying through and views of the grounds from every seat. The family room's fireplace wall and built-ins give the open plan an anchor, so it feels composed rather than cavernous.
A Suite That Ends the Day Quietly
The primary suite got the full treatment: a sitting area with its own fireplace, and a bath in soft stone with a soaking tub under the view window, twin round mirrors over a long double vanity, and a marble walk-in shower. It's the calmest set of rooms in the house, by design.
