House Area: 1639 sq. ft. Basement Area: 1318 sq. ft.

Client’s Initial Customization Request

  • Flip the house horizontally so porch faces right side
  • Extend great room to accommodate for a kitchen island and dining table (we can get rid of the master bedroom patio and doors, smaller patio is better for our budget anyways)

  • Create stairs instead of a ladder to loft (easier for pets to climb and us to walk up every day)
  • Add unfinished basement with a bathroom hookup
  • We can take the sink out of the mudroom and overall shrink the mudroom to perhaps put basement stairs (all we need is space for a washer and dryer, even if it’s just a closet)
  • Increase master suite by removing office space, add a walk in closet and bathroom
  • Play with siding options for home, more vinyl or a mix between some wood accents and black vinyl (trying to keep cost down)
