Changes to the Property: 1. The original 1921 structure sits in the middle of two lots. This allowed us to increase the square footage from 1,400 to 3,800 square foot by adding on to the front and the back of the house, attaching the garage, and adding space over the garage itself. 2. Replaced original knob and tube wiring and plumbing to current code standards and added radiant floor heating throughout. 3. We were issued a historic preservation permit to demolish the historic, termite infested garage and rebuild a new garage, attached to the house, in its place. 4. We were issued a historic demolition permit to keep the existing footprint of the house and add a front addition covering over one-third of the original front of the house. 5. We repurposed unique items/features of the house in new locations: doors, sinks, cabinets, chandelier, stairs and hardware. 6. The granite you see in the backyard stream and waterfall was jack-hammered out of the front yard to make way for the foundation for the new living room. What you love about the house and/or favorite features: 1. When we brought the property in 2000 we used to joke with each other that we would love the house in 20 years. It only took 6 years, 3 months and 18 days from the day we bought it to the day the last contractor finished up work- we¥e well ahead of schedule! 2. We love the way our architect could take the original essence of the house and transform it to create a home that reflects who we are and still fits the character of the original house and it's setting within the PG landscape. 3. We also love the way our master craftsmen could interpret the original ideas in our plans and add their own artistic flair to them. 4. The original house had two beautiful redwood paneled rooms that had darkened so much with age they appeared a dull black. Our carpenters painstakingly took every board and batten off the walls, ran each of them through a planer, putting each piece of wood back on the walls like a jigsaw puzzle, they stained and sealed them; creating two rooms that are better than the originals. 5. The huge Monterey Cypress, believe it or not is younger than the house; we designed the entire addition around this beautiful tree. , OCR Text: Changes to the Property: 1.
