While this charming two-story home in an historic Iowa City neighborhood was a wonderful place to live, the owners felt they could use some additional square footage and wanted a more functional floor plan. The addition to this home opens up the newly remodeled kitchen to the family room and screened porch beyond. The kitchen features a unique use of white and stained cabinetry, quartz countertops and a natural stone backsplash.

The family room now has an abundance of windows and custom-built cabinetry to give the homeowner a large and inviting family space. A first floor powder room and spacious laundry room are much-needed additions to this home. The second floor was also in need of some additional space and features a new master bedroom, large master bath, and his and hers walk-in closets.

Throughout the remodel characteristics of the original house were incorporated such as reusing all the original doors. This wonderful home renovation shows how effective a well-planned addition can be.
