The entryway was expanded, tiled, and clad in poplar tongue and groove paneling with an indirect rope lighting tray. The exterior siding of the entire house was removed and replaced with the highest end James Hardie Architectural Collection Artisan Lap custom-ordered for its gorgeous thick profile and superior insulating properties. This siding replicates the look of solid wood siding yet has very low maintenance and sound quieting characteristics.

New exterior lighting and bronze post lighting was installed, and a new back stairway was added to the yard. One corner of the deck was specially reinforced and could accommodate a hot tub.
