The Hanson/ Dick family are no strangers to renovations. They’ve renovated at least 2 homes in Saratoga and a camp in Schroon Lake. Their latest renovation, on Fifth Ave., was beautifully done. They built a comfortable kitchen/ family room addition, while keeping with the integrity and charm of the home’s original features. They also tackled the home’s large original carriage house, which had serious structural issues (I know, because my parents looked at this house as well). Luckily, Carrie and Bruce salvaged the old girl instead of starting from scratch, which may have been the easier route, from the looks of their pictures. The foundation needed to be re- poured, they rebuilt the roof and added a dormer (giving the place more head-room upstairs if you wanted to add a living space), and they added automatic garage doors and a new porch on the left side. Thanks to Carrie and Bruce, this carriage house will stand for another hundred years! Here it is- Before and After!
