The Breezy Retreat in Sharon Woods
Seeking more space for their growing family, these homeowners opted for a second-story addition and a stunning porch renovation. The addition features a bright and functional playroom, along with a convenient powder room, giving the family extra room to spread out. Outside, the once-exposed porch is now a cozy retreat, complete with a ventless gas fireplace—a must-have for the husband—and pleated retractable screens on two sides for added comfort. Fresh decking and a newly painted beadboard ceiling tie the space together, making it a seamless extension of the home. This transformation has turned their outdoor living area into a year-round haven.
Exposed to Enclosed
Enclosing this porch has transformed it into a versatile, year-round retreat, shielding it from the elements while maintaining a connection to the outdoors. Unlike the original open design, the new enclosure protects against Charlotte’s unpredictable weather—keeping out rain, pollen, and humidity while reducing maintenance. Pleated retractable screens provide flexibility, allowing fresh air in while offering protection from bugs and debris. By creating a more comfortable and functional space, this upgrade ensures the porch can be enjoyed in every season without the drawbacks of an exposed outdoor area.
