The clients desired a refreshed kitchen and another bathroom. They ended up updating much of the house including a new ducted mini split heating system, new patio and porch, insulation and air sealing throughout, interior and exterior paint, and a lot more storage.
I’ll first give you a few before shots of this little stucco house.

The builder, Steve Coleman, Â just sent me these snapshots of an almost finished 2-story addition in Oakland. Â The high window faces east and morning light streams in.
The large room contains kitchen, living room, and dining area.
The roof has a pitch change at the eave (matching existing early 1900’s house) that is carried through to the interior.
