Because the site is large enough, we decided to expand this house horizontally and keep it a ranch. The existing kitchen and dining room will become the new kitchen, the existing garage will become a new Great Room and a new garage, holding room, and parents’ suite will be added. The new patio will be accessible from both the great room and parents’ suite—giving this home a California ranch quality.
The exterior will have all new windows and doors and new stucco.
