This 2016 remodel recently sold. I was shocked by the selling price. The realtor was kind enough to share her photos. We remodeled the back of the house and the second floor to better connect to the yard and the south light. She also hired Shawn Lovell to build a very special staircase.

This is a photo from the upstairs bathroom and the interior window over the stairs (one shutter open.) I had thought we would put mirrors on the inside of the shutters, but owner didn’t want mirrors. This opening to the stairwell allows the bathroom to be filled with southern sunshine. Oak vanity by Aaron Larsen of Xylo Interiors. The vessel sink allows the vanity to be lower and nicer proportions.

This is a view from the kitchen to the back….showing the light-filled stairwell and the french doors to the yard

Existing first floor – view from kitchen is of the laundry

Better connection to yard and south light. Laundry tucked out of view and staircase is nice to look at. (The garage is on that side of the yard close to the house)

Second floor – you can see the opening in the bathroom over the stairs opposite the south facing window
