This stately home was beautiful in its own right, but sitting alone atop a hill, it created an imbalance on the property. Added to that the garage was integrated into the lower level of the home, taking up coveted living space, and the homeowners knew a renovation was due. To balance the scale, we pulled the garage out of the basement, creating a large garage addition and connecting the two buildings with a single-level that would house a convenient mudroom, large living area, well-appointed home gym and additional storage, while featuring outdoor living above.
