Looking to expand their traditional house in a modern 760 square foot extension, the new indoor / outdoor space on the ground floor and primary bedroom on the upper floor create a natural flow into the modern space.

Selling a home doesn’t have to be a drawn-out, stressful process. If you’re still asking, “should I choose a cash offer or go the traditional route?” just remember your goals. If speed, simplicity, and certainty are at the top of your list, a cash buyer is your best bet.

Our clients approached us to help turn their 1980’s two-story contemporary into a home that reflects their vision by reimagining the kitchen, primary bathroom and front entry. As empty nesters, it was important to create an environment for aging in place and entertaining large family gatherings.

The original exterior of this 1960’s mid-century modern home was showing its age, and the rear yard was overgrown and inhospitable. Our clients’ goal was to add an exterior living-space to the rear where they could relax and entertain while enjoying the serenity of the landscape.
