The current owners closed and moved into Cooper in 2013, executing a myriad of updates from the onset starting with improving the attic hatch and insulation and eventual renovations to both bathrooms and kitchen over the course of their tenure. We added their home highlight summary document to the bottom of the story: some highlights include: roof replacement, drain tiled basement & hybrid heat pump water heater as well as updated electrical service throughout the home that we completed with a signature RFP lighting spec of period lights in the dining and kitchen.

the kitchen was thoughtfully designed with a dishdrawer under the sink to allow for efficiency, we added the birch trim and replaced the exterior door to full light giving the space the morning sun it warrants and allowing the monitoring of the lovely lilacs, tulips, and vibrant colors of the maple trees in the fall. The prior owners used this kitchen frequently and speak volumes for its quality finishes and efficient storage.
the main floor bath was punctuated by the vintage medicine cabinet that was installed during the remodel, heated tile in classic hex pattern on the floor with a timeless jade green ceramic wall tile make this bathroom a period improvement that will be outstanding for decades to come.
