New Old Home

As I mentioned in a previous post, now is the time of year for new home tours, as well as show house events which often benefit local charities. The latest here in town is the Tour of Remodeled homes. It’s another way for local builders to get their names out there, but it’s also fun and inspiring to see how older homes have been updated to accommodate modern families.

One home in particular is right around the corner from us and I often pass by it during my morning/evening walks. So, I just had to share some images of this fabulous place.

The original house was built more than 50 years ago. The remodel resulted in quite the transformation, and being more than curious over the last year as I watched the extensive construction taking place, I was so glad to see photos featured in our local paper’s "Home" section.

The family worked with local architect, Tim Winters, who specilizes in creating "new-old homes." He's well known for retaining a home's original character during a remodel. Or, when designing a new home, he's able to create something that looks like it's been there for many years, yet has the wonderful amenities that new homes offer.

Tim, if I win the lottery, I'm coming after you, buddy. Your life will be designing my home.

Happy Friday, friends!
