The breezeway connecting the home and garage was enclosed and transformed into an inviting entry foyer.
| Then | Now |
| The home lacked open, inviting spaces conducive to entertaining. | An addition enclosed a breezeway to create a welcoming foyer and expanded the detached garage into an open kitchen, living and dining space. |
| Designed with low ceilings and few windows, the original kitchen felt dark and cramped. | The new kitchen/living area boasts vaulted ceilings with timber-frame trusses; folding glass doors open to the pool. |
| With the existing colonial-style windows, rooms were dim and lacked a connection to the outdoors. | New farmhouse-style windows and doors by Jeld-Wen let in light while complementing the original vernacular. |
| A fireplace in the existing family room blocked views of the pool. | A bank of windows now affords sweeping views of the pool and farmland. |
