We are excited to show you the transformation of this classic 1950s ranch. We designed the renovations to make the living, kitchen and dining spaces more open and functional. It also included new windows throughout the house to help make it more efficient and allow more light into the house. Check out these progress photos! We can’t wait to show you the finished product of this home.

After. On the rear of the house, we added two decks that give the owners access to the yard and driveway.

Before. The rear of the house had a very small deck, which didn’t allow enough space for entertaining. Here you can see the windows are relatively small and don’t capture the view of the Shawangunk Mountains.

After. The front of the house is more inviting with a known entry point. The new front porch will soon be a great spot to enjoy coffee in the morning.

Before. The original house was very simply. If you look behind the house in this photo, you can see Skytop Tower at the Mohonk Mountain House.

Before. Previously, the living room was in the front of the house. While this space captured plenty of the morning sunlight, it looked out towards the neighbors’ properties.

Progress. The large window was removed and filled in to create more wall space for the new kitchen. A small window was added to still bring in the morning daylight. By moving the kitchen to the front, the living space can now enjoy the view of the mountain range.

Progress. Just about complete, the new kitchen is much brighter and efficient in regards to design and energy.

Before. Previously the dining room was blocked off from the kitchen completely. Though it had one large window that captures the view, it was very dark and separated from the rest of the house.

Progress. The new windows at the corner help bring in more light, especially because they’re not high off the ground. The wall was removed from this space to help open it up to the rest of the house.

Progress. Just about complete, the house now has a beautiful fireplace that’s being completed and is open throughout the entire living space.

After seeing the house from before to now, it feels brand new! Be sure to keep an eye out for updates here on our website, or on our Facebook!
