From Dated Ranch to Modern Cottage Retreat
When this one‑owner 1974 ranch hit the Saratoga Springs real estate market, the new owners saw an opportunity—not only to expand their wooded buffer, but to create a welcoming retreat for extended family. Rather than demolish and rebuild, they chose to reclaim the structure and reimagine it as an airy, contemporary cottage.
Compact, disjointed rooms were opened up through clever space planning, transforming the once‑dark home into a bright and livable space. The crisp white kitchen pops with playful color accents, while a new ensuite bath with zero‑entry shower offers aging‑in‑place accessibility. Now, this modest ranch lives large, blending whimsy, artful details, and modern comfort in a uniquely personal way.
