Prospect Addition
Originally built in 1940, this home was ready for updates to better serve the new owners. The kitchen door served as the primary entrance, so we added a mud room to create a more space and storage for the kids. We finished the basement and created a guest suite, large pantry for dry storage, and a dedicated laundry room.
