Love the house. Love the neighborhood. Just need the home to do more?
That was the challenge here. This family wanted to stay in the classic home they loved, but they were missing some pretty big everyday things: a garage, easier backyard access, a mudroom, and a real outdoor living space.
Hanson solved it with a tuck-under garage addition topped by a rooftop deck, carefully matching the existing siding, trim, and architectural details so the new space feels like it has always belonged there.
For homeowners in older Minneapolis and St. Paul neighborhoods, moving isn’t always the answer.
Sometimes the best home is the one you already love — with a little more room to live.
