With modern lines and materials, this second story addition on a 1950s rambler is a complete transformation.
The renovated kitchen is in the same location as the old one, but features cherry cabinets, granite counters and blown-glass pendant lights over the eating area.
The fridge and ovens are tucked into a hall leading to the new dining room.
The Kolbe and Kolbe entry door has frosted glass for privacy, and leads directly to the stairs to the second floor.
The living room has a light cove that conceals ductwork on one side.
The during photo of the living room shows how much the ceiling height in the room increased.
Railings are steel stringer inside and out.
The upper hall doubles as a lookout onto the expansive 2-storm atrium windows and down into the dining room.
A drop-in tub surrounded by travertine tile is made for relaxation.
The shower directly to the side features a frameless glass enclosure and more travertine.
The exterior of the home is a mix of Hardiplank siding and panels with aluminum trim at the atrium. It lends an industrial look to the facade, and adds interest to the entire home.
Before: Classic '50s rambler with brick, ready for a home addition Seattle.
After: Clean lines, obscured glass railings at the master suite deck, and a whole new way of enjoying this Seward Park neighborhood.
