Second Story Simplicity
The 1,000sf house was literally doubled, with a complete second story addition and full interior remodel. The former 2-Bed, 1-Bath home is now a 4-Bed, 3-Bath home in only 2,000sf. A large covered front porch, many large windows, and an open concept first floor plan make this home feel spacious and inviting.
