The home is owned by architects who completely renovated it. They added a central atrium and gave the exterior a grey, modern facelift (though it still blends in well with the neighbouring homes). The interior has an open floor plan, with oak hardwood flooring, a 16-foot island in the kitchen and bridges that span the atrium to act as hallways on the upper levels.
