The existing home was a double-width manufactured home. While the reincarnation of the home has little resemblance to the previous incarnation of the house, we kept a surprising amount of the existing interiors as we enlarged two main-level bedrooms, built a new master suite above, and added an attached two-car garage. The final result is a beautiful home with no compromise, with open living areas that flow to outdoor spaces, targeted views of surrounding scenery, and even a rooftop deck tucked secretly into the roof of the garage.
