Ranch Remodel

Two new gables on the front exterior of this 1960s ranch play the largest role in transforming the home's look. The gables add dimension to the front of the house and vary the roofline.

A new front door and sidelights provide updated style and warmth, and windows outfitted with muntins add traditional personality. A former picture window is now a copper-roofed bay, which creates even more depth. A fresh coat of creamy taupe paint unifies the brick and siding, and an abundance of plantings and pathways softens the new circular driveway.
