This renovation reimagines a classic attached single-family home into a thoughtfully expanded and modernized space for a family of five. The transformation began with a full gut renovation of the second level, creating an open and inviting layout. A new entry foyer and mudroom offer a warm welcome, while the expanded kitchen becomes the heart of the home, connecting seamlessly to a refreshed living room and a reimagined bathroom.

The redesign introduced additional living areas on the first and third levels, including a sunlit home office and a luxurious main suite featuring a walk-in closet and spa-like bathroom. A custom staircase, carefully crafted to navigate the constraints of the original layout, now gracefully connects the second and third levels.

One of the most striking challenges was harmonizing the new straight and angled rooflines with the home's iconic Mansard roof. The result is an elegant architectural solution that balances modern functionality with the home’s historic charm. With its blend of fresh interiors, cohesive exterior updates, and meticulous attention to detail, the home now offers a spacious yet intimate haven for family life.
