The project is comprised of a 1,200 square foot, three story addition to a turn of the century Sears and Roebuck kit house.  The addition effectively doubles the square footage of the existing house and consists of a new family room, kitchen, two-car garage, master bedroom suite, and new exterior decks.  The original kit house had very little relation to the site, which slopes steeply from front to back.  The new family room is set one half level down from the existing first floor to lessen the impact of the grade   difference out the back of the house connecting to the new swimming pool area.
