West Seattle Craftsman Remodel
Project Overview:
How do you expand your kitchen and add an extra bedroom to an intricately designed 1920's craftsman home? Very carefully...and with plenty of attention to detail.
The Stammen family wanted to expand their 1.5-story West Seattle house and cramped kitchen, but they were concerned about destroying the charm of their vintage home. Potter Construction’s solution was to create a two-story addition on the back of the house.
First, the kitchen walls were torn out. The next step was to build a two-story addition and back in toward the house. The roof line of the gable was altered to blend the new addition, expand an existing dormer, create headroom for a larger bedroom, and create another bedroom with the addition of a second floor. This also gave the Stammens a huge remodeled kitchen with an eating nook, plus a powder room on the main floor, and three airy bedrooms on the upper floor—turning their cute but cramped craftsman into a stunning and spacious home, while maintaining its unique character.
