The Journey: From Cozy to Captivating
The original structure at the heart of this project spanned 3,085 square feet and featured four bedrooms and three bathrooms. Following the addition, the house now offers 5,164 square feet across two additional levels, five spacious bedrooms, and 4.5 beautifully appointed bathrooms.
However, this project stands out for reasons beyond additional square footage. Several deliberate design choices throughout the home make it a place where families can live, grow, and thrive for many years.
Inside the Transformation: Features That Shine
A Kitchen Designed for Living
The heart of this home is the kitchen, an expansive, functional space designed with beauty and practicality in mind. Behind the modern cabinetry lies a concealed pantry with extra storage and a second refrigerator—ideal for day-to-day living and entertaining guests. A Custom-built dining nook enhances the room further, making it the new hub for day-to-day family life.
A Primary Suite That Redefines Luxury
The new primary suite offers a true escape from the outside world. A serene retreat designed for ultimate privacy and comfort, the spa-inspired bathroom features a jetted tub with hidden access panels for a sleek, seamless design. Just beyond the suite’s doors is a private deck with stunning, million-dollar lake views—a perfect spot to relax and unwind just steps from your bedroom.
Outdoor Spaces That Connect to Nature
This home embraces the outdoors with two beautifully designed decks. The deck off the primary bedroom is a quiet, intimate space that furnishes privacy and views of the surrounding landscape. Below, the main deck serves as the perfect space for gatherings, providing ample room for entertaining while also creating a layered design that adds dimension and character to the home.
A Unique Welcome
The exterior of the home is just as striking as its interior. A custom half-moon stone feature on the entry tower pays homage to the home’s location on “Half Moon Circle.” This Thoughtful Design detail creates a memorable first impression and gives the property a personal touch.
Turning Challenges into Triumphs
No Custom build is without its challenges, and this project was no exception. Nevertheless, the Paradigm Homes team met every obstacle with innovation, creativity, and expertise:
- Deck Reinforcement: We reinforced the decks to enhance safety and durability while preserving the design’s integrity. Our team ensured the modifications met all structural requirements without encroaching on the Resource Protection Area (RPA).
- Maximizing Tight Spaces: Selecting the right appliances for functionality and space efficiency is challenging. However, our experienced custom builders (adept at making on-site adjustments) seamlessly integrated solutions to maximize every inch.
- Garage Conversion & Carport Addition: We repurposed the original garage into a fully conditioned gym space, providing a comfortable environment for year-round use. Then, we added a carport to protect the family’s vehicles from falling branches and the elements.
Why Choose a Pop-Top Addition?
Pop-Top Additions are an excellent way to add much-needed space and value to your home without compromising your yard or outdoor living area. Expanding upward creates additional living spaces while maintaining the charm and character of the existing footprint. Furthermore, Pop-Top Additions can help homeowners save on construction costs.
