Larchmont (Westchester, NY) Family Home - Expansion and Renovation

We renovated and expanded this Larchmont home in phases over five years to accommodate the family’s timeline and budget. We started with an interior renovation including the addition of a full bathroom. By adding skylights and custom glass stair railing, we enhanced the natural light throughout the open floor plan of the home with some layout changes to make the first floor more functional. The next phase was a build out over the old carport to expand the living/dining area, add a full workshop/garage and build a new bedroom. We maintained the stucco and existing brick but repainted it and added board and batten along with modern black windows and a metal roof. The next phase was reconfiguring the 40% grade driveway and adding pedestrian stairs from the street to make it safer to enter by foot or by car. We also converted the old garage into a finished office space with custom closets for shoes, coats and sport equipment to define the new entry. We added a laundry room and a separate storage room. We leveled out the backyard to make it more even for the kids and added a new fieldstone retaining wall and vegetable garden along with a standalone slide built into the earth. The last and final phase will be replacing the deck on the second floor and finishing the ground floor space underneath to make it more functional as a three season space.
