The exterior before
This three bedroom brick bungalow located in Georgetown, Ontario originally built in 1935 was small and cottage-like. Could higher ceilings and more room be a possibility? The answer would be a complete tear down of the existing extension for a new addition that would not only increase the size of the home, but encompass higher ceilings and bring in more natural light.
The new addition would provide an extra 100 square feet more to the home, flowing from the original dining area with fireplace as the new living room. Higher ceilings were created from the previous skylight and larger window and doors newly installed, would bring in much more natural light making the area an idyllic reading room by day. An important consideration for the builder was to tie in the existing structure with the new, illustrated by such details as the flooring in which case the new hardwood of the addition also ran into the existent dining area as well as the tiling in front of the fireplace of the old portion of the house.
The Exterior Before
The owners had lived in this house for 15 years in this three bedroom bungalow with one bath that relied on well water and an oil tank. Their existing addition could be improved on, however, desired high ceilings and more room would require a tear down and re-build.
