Victorian Kitchen & Bath Remodel Project

Reviewing Plans for Updating the Victorian VideoBob meets homeowner David Masher and architect Greg Colling at Masher's Queen Anne Victorian in Rowley, Massachusett's historic district. Masher explains that he and his wife Jeanne have lived in the house for 10 years, first as a couple and now with a young child. As their family grew, they needed to decide whether to expand the house to accommodate the family's living needs or look for another house. The Mashers decided to redesign the interior first-floor living space and mud room to better serve the family. Architect Greg Colling shows Bob the plans for the home, which is 26 by 30 feet, or just under 2,000 square feet. The plans show a hatched area that is the addition to the existing footprint. There will be a new entrance and a large deck that will serve as a transition space between the living area and the beautifully landscaped yard. The Mashers own one acre of land that slopes to a backyard stream running through the property. Colling's plan for the new entrance and deck will follow the linear design of the home. The backyard will be regraded to meet the new deck and, toward the side yard, three steps will lead to a newly landscaped yard and barbecue area. Masher tells Bob that their budget for the project is between $75,000 and $80,000.
