Overview
Materials & Finishes
Dining Room & Family Room
Designed to anchor the home's main living spaces with warmth and character, the dining room and family room share a continuous floor of 3-1/4" Brazilian Cherry unfinished hardwood, finished on-site with a Kona Varathane stain and sealed with two coats of Bona Traffic HD water-based matte finish — a combination that brings out the wood's natural richness while standing up beautifully to everyday life. Overhead, recessed LED lighting with dimmer controls allows the mood to shift effortlessly from bright and functional to relaxed and intimate, while a chandelier fixture adds a focal point that grounds the dining area with a sense of occasion.
Basement
The basement is finished with Mohawk Casual Beauty carpet in the Berkshire 510 colorway, a soft, livable choice that makes the space feel inviting underfoot. Installed over quality padding, the carpet lends warmth to what could otherwise feel like a utilitarian level. Eight recessed lights with three-way switching and dimmer capability ensure the space is as flexible in its lighting as it is in its use.
Windows & Doors
Throughout the addition, Energy Star rated vinyl double-hung windows bring both efficiency and a clean aesthetic, finished in Vintage Wicker on the exterior and crisp white on the interior. Contoured between-glass grids on the lower sash only add a subtle architectural detail without overwhelming the view. The full-light back door, fitted with Schlage hardware, connects the interior to the outdoors with both style and security.
Paint
Every interior surface is finished with Sherwin Williams Duration paint, applied over one coat of primer and two finish coats — a process that ensures consistent, lasting color throughout the addition.
Exterior
The exterior is built to endure and blend seamlessly with the existing home. Twenty-five-year asphalt shingles provide long-term roof protection, while seamless aluminum gutters and downspouts manage water with clean, uninterrupted lines. Vinyl siding is carefully matched to the existing structure, ensuring the addition reads as a natural extension of the home rather than an afterthought.
