Ranchformation in Just 6 Months

Fixing the hard parts first gets a couple into their remodeled house before winter
by Thomas Parks

After months of searching, Mark and Joanne Woodward found the perfect lot in Cape Elizabeth, Maine. Their only problem was that the lot was home to a tiny, one-story ranch, not the cape they had been hoping for. Rather than demolish the 930-sq. ft. ranch, the couple opted for a complete renovation, adding a second floor and an entirely new look. What they ended up with was a 2300-sq. ft. cape that rung in at only $86 per square foot.
