Architect owner Ted Kollaja found his current dream home in the cul-de-sac of West Shore. Set on a creek lot with dramatic views, the single-story ranch was just he and his family were looking for. A mid-century enthusiast and purist, Kollaja stayed true to the original design while opening up the kitchen and living and using architectural elements of the era to define the space.

Set within the sought after Waterview Preservation District, the exterior of this home has the charm of a country cottage. But inside the bold and dramatic interiors take you to a very modern place. Color and pattern take center stage and will inspire even the most fervent neutral enthusiast.

Completely renovated in 2022, this 3,000 square foot home is exceptional. Every detail is a creative reflection of the artistic owners. Designed by Robyn Freese with Blackstone Custom Homes, who had a few exceptional ideas of her own, this reimagined ranch is a perfect example of how to keep the original footprint while thoroughly modernizing the home.

With an impressive backyard and a few creative tweaks, this home is a spectacular example of how an exceptional layout can make a home live much larger than the actual square footage. An open kitchen, abundance of windows and light, neutral palette all contribute to the spacious vibes of this true mid-century gem. 

Set on an impressive half-acre creek lot, this 1960-built home was remodeled and expanded to suit today's modern family. It's an absolute entertainer's dream with an oversized island in the kitchen opening to the large living area. Off the kitchen there's an additional family room with backyard views and upstairs there's one more flex space. It's an inspired example of how to add seamlessly add a second story to a ranch-style home.
