Loyal Heights

The clients requested improved access to their beautiful south-facing garden for this double-lot residence. We removed a side porch that was blocking the view and replaced it with a cathedral-ceiling sunroom, relocating the space west to offer the kitchen a direct view of the garden. A large, trellis-covered porch now joins the sunroom and dining room to the garden, and built-in heaters extend its usage from early spring to late fall. The roofline was extended west with a gentle curve to match the front porch, concealing a basement stair and a small porch off the sunroom. A skylight adds natural light to the breakfast nook. Upstairs, a small powder room was modestly expanded to add a shower, increasing efficiency for the two adjoining bedrooms. The remodel improves the home's livability, lighting, and garden connection while maintaining its original character.
