Sedgwick Residence
Before
After
Built in the 1950’s the original structure was a ranch house of 1,200 square feet. Apart from a 2006 kitchen renovation the 3 bedroom/1 bathroom house had not changed much over those 70 years. Owners Dan and Katie Sedgwick bought the house in 2015 and undertook a renovation in 2019 to accommodate their growing family.
The original footprint of the house was preserved but re-configured for more open living. 360 square feet of new space was added at the back of the house for a new great room and covered porch that open onto the back yard. A second floor was added with master suite, two bedrooms with “jack & jill” bathroom in between, and an office. The completed house is 2,900 square feet with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The second floor of the house is articulated and steps in from the perimeter to soften the overall scale. The upstairs vaulted corner office tower reflects the street corner on which the house is situated.
The exterior of the house utilizes traditional residential forms composed in a clean and simple way. The horizontal/ranch form has been punctuated by strong vertical elements. While retaining hints of its mid-century past the house has been expanded and updated for twenty first century living.
