Cooper
The Cooper renovation project began with goals to create a larger master suite, enlarge the kitchen, add more garage space and create an office. To accomplish these goals required a redesign of the interior space and resulted in an exterior face-lift. An outdoor fireplace and patio and a sport garage added the finishing touches.
Work Completed:
- Exterior Facelift
- Larger Kitchen
- Enhanced Living Space

- Additional Bedroom / Bathroom
- Office
Special Features:
- Additional sports garage

The renovation changed the house from a 1-1/2 story to a full 2 story home, while retaining its style and charm. The result increased the total square footage of livable space in the home from 4224 to 5455 square feet.
