Contemporary Fireplace

This 1950s ranch-style home got a contemporary upgrade. The stair to a basement was moved to create a new kitchen that is now open and designed for entertaining. It features sleek, European SieMatic cabinetry. A tiny master bath is now expansive - with a separate shower and tub for maximum relaxation. Even the very traditional living room fireplace became a modern element and a display for the homeowner's art-glass collection. Eric Roth Photography
