The Cooper renovation project began with goals to create a larger master suite, enlarge the kitchen, add more garage space and create an office. To accomplish these goals required a redesign of the interior space and resulted in an exterior face-lift. An outdoor fireplace and patio and a sport garage added the finishing touches.

Work Completed:

  • Exterior Facelift
  • Larger Kitchen
  • Enhanced Living Space
  • Enhanced Master Suite
  • Additional Bedroom / Bathroom
  • Office

Special Features:

  • Additional sports garage
  • Outdoor fireplace and patio

Exterior

The renovation changed the house from a 1-1/2 story to a full 2 story home, while retaining its style and charm. The result increased the total square footage of livable space in the home from 4224 to 5455 square feet.
