A two storey rear addition with full basement added to a 1950's solid masonry home. The original home was fully gut renovated with updates to HVAC, plumbing and electrical systems as well as a full building envelope treatment to ensure a comfortable and efficient space. Healthy housing choices for all materials in the home ensured a low VOC environment for the owners with sensitivities to off gassing. All new finishes transformed this dwelling into a beautiful, comfortable and serene space.
