Project Description 

When faced with the need for more space to accommodate their expanding family, the owners of this existing home began the journey to transform their current house into the perfect home. Rather than uprooting their family and seeking a new residence, they opted to enhance their existing space to meet their evolving needs.



The addition of a second story proved to be the ideal solution, resulting in a remarkable expansion that seamlessly blends form and function. Three new bedrooms, complete with built-in robes, including a luxurious master bedroom with a spacious walk-through robe to the ensuite, offer unparalleled comfort and privacy. Additional amenities, such as an extra bathroom and separate powder room, further elevate the home's functionality and convenience.



This once modest dwelling has been transformed into a spacious haven, boasting a total of five bedrooms, four and a half bathrooms, and a dedicated study. Two expansive living areas, complemented by a separate rumpus/billiards room, provide ample space for relaxation and entertainment, ensuring every member of the family finds their own slice of quiet.

Practical considerations, such as a two-car garage and the inclusion of a wood-fired heater and ducted air conditioning throughout, add to the home's appeal, providing year-round comfort.
