Since zoning restrictions on this 1928
Spanish style home meant no square
footage could be added, space-making
strategies and a finessed floor plan were
employed to free this once claustrophobic
and inefficient kitchen. Widening
partitions and shedding doorways
allowed for a laundry station and walk-in
pantry at one end and an open flow into
the jewel box sized breakfast room at the
other. A deep window box above the sink
and a new French door bring space-
expanding daylight and contribute to the
illusion of roominess. Honed soapstone
counters, subway tile and shaker style
inset cabinets reflect the home's vintage
character in this thoroughly streamlined
space.
Later, the front exterior of the home was
reworked to bring back the Spanish style
that had been lost through a series of
unfortunate earlier remodels.
