split level, reimagined

American architecture features many iconic styles that we treasure, romanticize and replicate. However, there are not many homebuyers who look at an outdated split-entry home and see design potential.

Built in the 1950s and 60s, these “raised ranch homes” were popular among the era’s young homebuyers because they represented a fresh design.

When we had the opportunity to purchase and renovate this 1960s split, that’s exactly what we saw: A starting point for fresh design. The finished product is an expansive, open and airy family home spanning three seamlessly connected levels.

 

  • We lifted this dated, 1960s ranch into the modern era with contemporary finishes, luxury upgrades and obsessive attention to detail. The home includes meticulously-planned lighting indoor and out, professional sound systems, smart technology and more to make it the ideal location for hosting intimate gatherings and large family events.

  • Second floor addition: We added a second floor with 4 bedrooms and 3 full bathrooms.

    Open floor plan: We redesigned and opened up the entire first-floor layout, including a living room, family room, high-ceiling dining room, full guest bedroom suite, powder room and professional kitchen with walk-in pantry.

    Basement renovation: The basement is a fully-renovated, third floor of living space, featuring a playroom with a fireplace, full bathroom, guest bedroom, office and laundry.

    Outdoor living: The rear exterior features a multi-function deck overlooking the yard, with a lounge area, dining area and lower entertaining area with hammocks, bar and fire pit.
