This couple has owned their home near Sandy Lane in Warwick for almost 30 years. Since they retired and since the birth of their granddaughter, they have wanted to make this house their forever-home. Brusco Design & Renovation created a comfortable & safe one-floor-living home for them.

Objectives:

  1. aging-in-place featurescreate a one floor living environment with the laundry on the first floor using Universal Design principles
  2. expand the home by creating a new family room in the garage that is only used for storage (the truck didn't even fit)
  3. renovate the kitchen and open the wall to the front room
  4. turn that front room into the new dining room so that family & friends can attend holiday dinners here
  5. make access to the back yard and deck easier
