A Renovated Woodside Ranchburger’s Shy Second Story

Instead of razing this ranch-style home, the new owner raised the roof, adding a heap of space on the second floor and reworking the original floor plan downstairs.

    Generally speaking, the commentary is above the referenced photo.

    And I agree, the house face is rather ho hum. But, they could only do so much with the outside. Without the bang, the bucks don’t matter so much.
