A rear addition that expanded the home's footprint to include a new primary suite wing, an enlarged kitchen, and a covered outdoor entertaining space — all designed to blend seamlessly with the original architecture.
The Stuart Avenue addition solved a space problem without a move. The clients had outgrown their home in every meaningful way — no primary suite worth the name, a kitchen too small for how they cooked, and no outdoor living space to speak of. But the neighborhood was right, the schools were right, and the bones of the house were solid. The answer was to build back.
The rear addition added a complete primary suite wing off the back of the home: a large bedroom with tray ceiling and a sitting bay, a spa bath with freestanding tub, a walk-in marble shower, and a custom walk-in closet with built-in organization for two. The addition was framed and finished to match the existing house exactly — same siding profile, same trim detail, same interior door casings — so that inside and out, old and new read as one.
The kitchen was expanded as part of the project — new cabinetry, a larger island, and a layout that finally gave the space room to breathe. French doors off the new breakfast area open to the covered porch, which was part of the same scope: a vaulted ceiling, a ceiling fan, and a built-in grill station that made outdoor cooking a year-round option.
