FLOOR PLAN AFTER. NEW EXTERIOR DECK AND STAIR REPLACE INTERIOR STAIR TO BACK YARD. THE UPDATED OPEN PLAN EXPRESSES OUR MODERN LIVING STYLE WITH THE KITCHEN AS A CENTER OF FAMILY LIFE.

FLOOR PLAN BEFORE. SMALL CRAMPED ROOMS REFLECTED THE 1920's ERA WHEN THE KITCHEN WAS FOR SERVANTS. THE DINING NOOK WOULD HAVE BEEN WHERE THE MAID AND BUTLER ATE.

OLD EXTERIOR ELEVATION AT BACKYARD. DOOR ENTERED TO SMALL STAIR UP TO KITCHEN WITH NO INDOOR/OUTDOOR FLOW. THE METAL AWNING OVER THE DOOR LOOKS OUT OF PLACE.

NEW EXTERIOR ELEVATION. THE FRENCH DOORS OPEN TO A GRACIOUS STAIR LEADING TO THE BACKYARD GARDEN. THE ROOF OVER THE DOORS IS NOW DETAILED TO MATCH THE REST OF THE HOUSE.
