A dated, 1950's vintage ranch home had fallen into disrepair and suffered from cramped, unpleasant interior spaces due to low ceiling heights. The home was reworked to meet the needs of today's working family. New vaulted ceilings create gracious interior volumes which accentuate the primary spaces. The plan was expanded by the addition of a vaulted family room, a computer room, a fourth bedroom or study, a third full bathroom, storage space and a two car garage with basement. Including the purchase price, the addition and renovation was built for less than the appraised value of the completed home.
