Project Summary <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\n\n\n\n

1892 was a big year. The \u201cNutcracker\u201d premieres in Saint Petersburg Russia, Ellis Island opens as a US immigration station, and the Coca-Cola Company is incorporated. It is also the year this farm house was erected in the rural hills on the border of Chanhassen and Chaska.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cSo, there\u2019s a lot of architectural history to preserve in this porch remodel,\u201d explains Strandpark properties. design\/build consultant Theresa Mann. \u201cProtecting the architectural integrity of this dwelling was most certainly job one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Originally the homeowner had a long list of improvements, including a second-floor master suite. But by the time we literally dug into the porch and its crumbling foundation, we realized some of that scope of work would have to wait.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Therefore, we limited the remodel to a new laundry room, a new 4-season porch with 5 Marvin Elevate double-hung windows in bronze, a balcony on top, featuring special Azek pavers, some cosmetic tuck-pointing of the brick fa\u00e7ade and chimney, and waterproofing the basement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The overall goal was to improve the usability of the porch space, which was nothing but a junk collection site and too hot in the summer and cold in the winter to use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
