Vintage craftsman charm meets next-gen building science in this 1950s bungalow “down to the studs” full renovation project. The “Craftsman Corner” sits on a large corner lot with mature trees surrounding the home that provide the perfect mix of sunlight, shade and privacy. The original details and soul from the 50's were uncovered and accentuated both inside and out, while bringing the “systems” of the house into the 21st century to ensure the home was safe, comfortable, and efficient for its new residents. Safety in new systems means all of the old metal plumbing, cast iron drains, dilapidated ductwork, patchwork electrical and ineffective insulation was torn out and replaced with the same modern materials and requirements of a new home. Our goal of comfort is attained through a complete spray foam envelope, new Heat Pump system, dedicated Dehumidifier with Fresh-air intake to make sure your “tight” home doesn't become a stuffy home. We increased efficiency with new all electric appliances, a series of smart controls for the HVAC, dehumidifier and water heater to tailor their use to your needs. In addition, high-performance gas filled windows and a completely sealed crawlspace to help all of these systems work easier (as well as help keep out pests and mold). Definitely not to be left out are the visual details that of course make this beautiful house a home you want to entertain in, work and study at, and enjoy nature from. Neither pictures nor words do this home justice so come see for yourself how a renovation can be done right!
