Part I
The residence
Built in 1998 and comprehensively renovated, the home is organized as a bungalow: a main floor under a vaulted ceiling crossed by exposed cedar beams set at four-foot intervals, lit by a floor-to-ceiling window roughly ten feet high. Popcorn ceilings have been removed and replaced with modern flat ceilings in all but two rooms, which retain their original finish; the main level is floored in solid oak, the lower level and stairs in thick vinyl plank.
Below grade is not a basement in the usual sense. It is a second, fully independent dwelling — designed, permitted, and registered as a legal secondary suite with its own kitchen, living room, dining area, bedroom, and full bathroom.
