An unused front porch was incorporated into the living area, creating additional space for family gatherings while an expanded primary bath improved accessibility.
To accommodate gatherings with their growing family, a retired couple expanded the living area by incorporating an unused front porch (primary access to the house was from the back porch). Extending the living room six feet created additional space without altering the character of the existing home. White trim on the exterior of the new addition echoes the adjacent screened porch between the house and garage, tying the new work into the existing architecture.
A small patio extends from the new living area and was positioned to capture the morning light, creating a quiet outdoor space connected to the addition.
Adjacent to the expanded living room, the primary bathroom was enlarged to improve accessibility and accommodate a spacious walk-in shower. The updated layout provides greater ease of use while bringing additional comfort to the home.
