This remodeling project and addition by MSH Architecture Associates for a 1950’s-era multilevel home included designing a new kitchen and dining area, with a spacious and light-filled family room addition opening onto a large elevated wooden back deck. The new kitchen has a large granite-topped island with seating, top-of-the line appliances, and abundant cabinets for storage. French doors open onto a new study.

The existing front entrance was extended forward to create a new entrance foyer and spacious, light-filled stair to a new third story. In the third floor addition is a new master-bedroom suite with a double vanity, shower, and whirlpool tub. The second floor bedroom was remodeled into a second master suite to accommodate in-laws. The lower level was also reconfigured for an additional family-room space and guest room. The use of white walls and natural wood trim throughout adds to the open and airy feeling of this trendsetting designer home.
