This 80+ year old Dutch Colonial on a large property had character in its 900sf of living area, but just not enough room. A substantial 2,400sf addition included a new attached 3-car garage, separate in-law suite, new master bedroom suite with fireplace, new kitchen, great room and dining room, as well as a new entry with wrap-around porch. The old, deteriorated siding was replaced in full with new fibercement siding, painted cedar trim and new insulated windows. New oval windows provide compositional accents as well as bring in welcome daylight. The original fireplace was accented with limestone fillers.
Inside,  the new kitchen is separated from the new great room with a see-through arched stone fireplace. The kitchen's range and hood are similarly canopied with a stone arch. New Brazilian cherry flooring ties the entire composition together. Even though the addition more than tripled the original area of the home, the home's
character was carried all the way through and even enhanced.
