Renovation­s: Renovation­s included adding two screened porches with vaulted ceilings, skylights and multi-level decks, and installing a picture window at the back of the house. They gutted and renovated the galley kitchen by opening the wall between the dining room and kitchen and added 100-year-old barn wood and faux brick by Cox. The Smiths also removed a load-bearing wall to add a laundry room, replaced the living room built-in bar with a TV cabinet and surround sound, and replaced the fireplace. They installed shiplap in the living room and part of the dining room, replaced the flooring with dark mahogany hardwoods and remodeled the firstfloor powder room. Beams were added with lighting in the sitting areas by the master bedroom, which also has French doors and a shiplap accent wall. The master bath was gutted to accommodat­e a large vanity with towers, a jetted tub and additional storage space. The master closet was also reconfigur­ed and recarpeted. The couple closed an open area on the second floor to provide storage space and also painted and added carpet. The upstairs bath and the driveway were also redone. They removed the cement front walkway, added a stone bridge over a water feature and two water features were added to the relandscap­ed backyard. They encapsulat­ed the crawlspace and bought a new air conditioni­ng unit and furnace. Cost of renovation­s:
