This property was improved in two separate projects.
The first was to convert a dilapidated creekside carriage house into a proper second unit. The aspect of the existing carriage house to be retained was its footprint on the property. The lower level of the new structure consists of a kitchen and dining area open to a living room complete with a fireplace. These spaces open to a porch facing the lawn. One bath completes the level. Upstairs is a large bedroom space and a bath.
​
The second project was to completely remove the entire upper floor of the main residence and reconfigure the layout. This included a new ensuite guest room over the 3-car garage. All of this was accomplished while the family continued to live on the main and lower floors of the house.
​
Many of the main level rooms were updated. The front porch of the house was redone as well
​
In all, the main house consists of large living and dining rooms separated by columns, a chef's kitchen, a large family room opening onto terraces leading to the pool. There are six ensuite bedrooms (seven with the ensuite guest room) and a large laundry room.
