Located in San Jose’s Canoas Garden neighborhood, this home was thoughtfully redesigned with an added 1st floor bedroom suite and a full 2nd story addition over the garage to accommodate a new Master Bedroom quarters and office overlooking the rear yard.  The addition and remodel was all completed with the current owners occupying the existing area of the home where there was no construction.  The main front entry porch was remodeled to enhance the curb appeal.  The existing home was 1,811 s.f, and the with the addition the home’s total gross s.f. became 3,194.  The architectural style of the existing home was mid-century ranch and the newly design home incorporated Craftsman style elements.
