An evening on the porch

Traditional Exterior, DC Metro

Who wouldn't enjoy a big covered porch overlooking an oversized yard in the heart of Arlington! This turn of the century bungalow was originally located tight to the street side corner. A spacious rear and side yard resulted. The new full width porch creates a grand shady veranda squarely fronting the spacious yard. 3 different step approaches accommodate access to the street entrance, rear yard, and side driveway entries. A new master suite is in the attic space above the porch. Front and rear dormer additions provide second floor bedrooms and a hall bath. Downstairs, a new open stair frames the entry. Family room and enlarged kitchen additions have direct access to the porch. All new work respects the original proportions of the historic bungalow. The profile of the original gable was extruded out maintaining the original roof heights and slopes.
