Watertower Home: A Complete Transformation with Craftsman Charm

Our clients purchased this small fixer-upper in the country with a vision to create a beautiful, functional home that better suited their needs. Originally a two-bedroom house, they needed at least three bedrooms, as well as a way to connect the detached garage to the main living space.

Our design plan focused on expanding and enhancing both the layout and the architectural character of the home. We added onto the structure, creating a larger, grander living room, while converting the former living room into a third bedroom—maximizing both space and functionality. The entire home underwent a top-to-bottom renovation, including the addition of new Hardie Plank siding and stone wainscoting to elevate the exterior.

To further enhance the home’s Craftsman-style charm, we introduced new entry columns and designed a distinctive water tower-inspired addition, giving the home unique character and curb appeal. Now, this once-small country home feels spacious, cohesive, and full of personality, perfectly tailored to our clients’ lifestyle.
