Pre Renovation, rear view

Here is the rear view of the house and property --The large bank of windows that you see along the back of the house are in the family room, which leads out onto the concrete patio. The bank of four windows just to the left looks into the 3rd bedroom and they will just be replaced.

The huge sycamore with the split stump has eroded the patio with its roots and creates work all year round to clean up after its shedding tendencies. Raking its leaves in the fall takes days and though it is a wonderful tree that offers us much needed shade, it will have to be removed not only for safety b/c of the split stump and bugs that are hollowing it out, but also to make room for the new family room and covered porch.A 22' family room addition will be added to the existing structure and a 17' covered porch will extend beyond this new room.

The existing family room will be converted into the new dining space and the chimney that you see in this photo rising from the center of the home will be removed so that most of that wall that separates the kitchen from the living spaces can be opened up to create an open feel with the kitchen overlooking the dining room and family room beyond.
