Let’s Talk Turk

Built originally as a typical 1960’s center-hall colonial, this home took on a “whole house” renovation after 50+ years. A partial, stone facade was taken down and replaced with larger windows and new siding. The front porch was added and a seamed, metal roof with a small window bump-out was just enough to freshen the front of this dated house. Interior walls were taken down to give the house a more open floor plan. Original oak flooring was refinished and bathrooms were updated. A large covered back porch was added and is easily accessible from the open concept renovated kitchen. A basic screened-in back porch was also easily converted to a three seasons room by replacing old screens with double-hung windows and sliding glass doors. Even with a limited budget, this whole-house renovation made a big impact and has become a beloved house of the neighborhood.
