Original Front Exterior
Original Front Exterior
A reimagined entry features crisp white siding complemented by warm, stained wood accents for striking contrast
To enhance flow and welcome, the entry was repositioned, now opening onto an expanded front porch with seamless access to the main living space
The original home featured dark wood paneling and limited natural light, with compartmentalized rooms that made it less ideal for family life and entertaining
By eliminating the dropped ceiling, widening openings, and updating both finishes and layout, the renovated home is now thoughtfully tailored to suit modern living
The pool features integrated elements like the waterfall and spa reflecting the no-expense-spared approach to crafting a truly elevated living experience
