In the family room, Steve allowed for a spacious 16-inch-high fireplace ledge, where his children could play board games. The fireplace wraps the corner so that it can be enjoyed from the deck.
The oversize kitchen island holds storage drawers plus twopullout chrome wire racks—one for fruit, the other for vegetables.
Top Tip for Remodeling House
In any interior redo, be sure sight lines are good—especially if your household includes young children. In a kitchen, place appliances, sinks, and eating areas so broad stretches of rooms and outdoor areas are plainly visible.
The Remodeling House Wish List
• Add 1,910 square feet and three stories
• Erect an outdoor deck that is absolutely level with the interior floor of the family room
• Replace the single-car garage with a two-car space in compliance with local building codes
• Design and build a combination guest bedroom and office suite over the new garage
• Finish the facade, interior chimney, and hearth using mortarless cultured stone
• Create an open floor plan for the first floor
• Build floor-to-ceiling window walls on the front of the house with both operable and fixed frames
• Design and install a new, extra-large kitchen with a center island accessible to all appliances
