About the Remodel

This 1920’s home has an unusual history. It was moved to its current location in 1965 to make room for I-5 through Tumwater. At which time the home had an addition added which nearly doubled the size of the home to 1300sf. In 2002 there was a fire in one of the bedrooms and the home, mostly smoke damaged, was completely remodeled. 

When the current owners bought the home in 2011 it had cheap Berber carpet, chocolate chip mint green walls, a funky layout and cheap finishes throughout. The home was ready for some serious updating. The clients love of the modern farmhouse look was the inspiration for this project. The main goal was to join the detached garage with the home, have a designated laundry room, create a master suite with its own bath, enlarge the outdoor living space and spruce up all the finishes.  
 
The 6-month remodel included:  

1. Adding a 16’ x 23’ master bedroom/bath addition with sliding door to the new outdoor living space,
   
2. Rearranging interior walls to enlarge the kitchen and create a laundry room,
3. All new windows and 7 new skylights,
4. Flooring in the form of tile/Marmoleum/hardwoods,
5. New kitchen layout with sink facing the backyard,
6. Enclosing the breezeway and making a hall bath and mudroom in the new space.  
   

Interior features include:  
Radiant floor heat throughout the master bath with barrier-free walk-in shower, touch-screen lighted vanity mirrors, custom built-ins, quartz countertops, stacked-stone fireplace, and custom millwork.  
 
On the outside a 14’ x 50’ composite deck with new roof and skylights, Infratech patio heaters, hot tub, built-in BBQ counter with granite, professionally landscaped with irrigation & low volt lighting and new exterior paint in crisp white on white.
