THEN | NOW |
The 2,977-square-foot, one-and-a-half-story Cape Cod-style house was too small to accommodate the owners’ growing family. | The renovation expanded the home to 4,240 square feet; the second floor contains three bedrooms and there is a third-story home office above. |
A shallow screened porch on the front greeted visitors. A one-story addition on the back was conceived in modern style and looked out of place. | Winn reconstructed the front porch to accommodate gatherings while a rear addition was built up to house a second-floor primary suite. |
The white siding and brick on the front façade looked dated and boring. Without rhyme or reason, the rear of the house was clad in beige stucco. | Dark-gray, vertical Hardie panels conjure a modern, Scandinavian feel, enhanced by knotty pine accents that add warmth and lighten the massing. The rear addition is clad in knotty pine with dark-gray accents that unify it with the rest of the home. |
