Previously a one story ranch home, it is now a two story home with distinction and character. The Owner’s desire to add space without compromising their spacious city lot yielded a solution that built up rather than out. While the styling has a traditional flavor, its spatial organization is decidedly more contemporary in opening the inside of the house to light and view. The central tower element is a three story open space that connects the living spaces on the first floor with the bedrooms on the second floor.
