30-Year Recluse Emerges
Veiled in evergreens,
with no discernable path to its hidden front door, this home seemed
to say "Go Away!" The updated home's relocated entry is now a
half-timbered beacon to passersby, with a new drive to bring
visitors right to the front door. No more hauling groceries up from
a basement garage. Inside, a loft is removed so the back can be
opened up with lots of glass to an expanded deck. Hammer trusses add
character and scale to the space. Phase 2 will create a large master
suite on the left side of the home.
