Every once in a while, a home tells you what it wants to become. As I opened the attic of this 1902 house, I discovered nearly 12 feet of untouched space hidden beneath the roof. In that moment, I knew the home had been waiting more than a century for someone to see its potential. That remarkable discovery allowed me to transform a simple single-story house into a gracious two-story home with two additional bedrooms, two bathrooms, an upstairs laundry room, and a private rooftop deck extending from the primary suite. It's a renovation that reminds me why I love restoring older homes—sometimes the greatest opportunities have been there all along, just waiting to be uncovered.
