Nestled in the historic Green Ridge neighborhood of Scranton, this renovation and addition project is a seamless blend of past and present. The comprehensive transformation was guided by a deep respect for the home’s original 4-square Craftsman style while adapting it to meet the needs of a busy modern family. The renovation preserved the home’s notable architectural character by highlighting original woodworking, millwork, and trim while introducing contemporary comforts, enhanced livability, and thoughtful spatial flow.
Central to the project was a 1,990-square-foot addition designed to integrate organically with the existing structure. The new expansion includes a spacious great room, a two-car garage, and a rear entry stair, all carefully proportioned and detailed to match the home’s historic Craftsman exterior. New materials and forms echo the original architecture through pitched rooflines, bracketed eaves, and exterior finishes that honor the home’s heritage. The result is a unified, balanced composition that feels as if it has always belonged.
Inside, the home now features a fully renovated kitchen with custom millwork, a walk-in pantry, and solid surface countertops—ideal for both entertaining and daily use. Smart home technologies and radiant in-floor heating were discreetly incorporated to enhance comfort and efficiency without compromising the home’s traditional aesthetics. Bathrooms throughout the house boast detailed tilework and finely crafted cabinetry, providing practical elegance across all 4.5 baths. These modern interventions are skillfully woven into a cohesive, historic palette.
