This historic home renovation focused on reimagining a 1972 addition to an 1850s farmhouse in Spring Valley, Washington DC, blending the home’s original charm with today’s standards. The homeowners wanted more natural light and a seamless connection between indoor and outdoor spaces.
The home addition now centers around a redesigned kitchen and living area, flooded with light through oversized Marvin windows and large sliding doors that open to the outdoors. Red oak floors, chosen to match the original home’s character, flow seamlessly throughout, while custom built-ins display the homeowners’ cherished book collection.
We updated all the bathrooms, adding a new one, and refinished the floors to ensure consistency with the original wood. Outside, this outdoor spaces project delivered a custom deck, framed jacuzzi, raised planters, and a new patio, transforming the backyard into a private oasis. The new structural configuration maximizes natural light and optimizes functional use of space.
The result is a refined blend of style, function, and timeless charm — ideal for everyday living and entertaining. This kitchen remodel and addition perfectly reflects the client’s vision of a bright, welcoming home that honors its history while embracing modern living.
