Story:

Sometimes we leave the best for last. This owner purchased a unique custom home designed for an aging-in-place owner and his caregiver. The home looked like two large apartments joined by a common living space. The Owner saw long-range potential and masterfully revived the interior one project at-a-time, but saved the  difficult kitchen revival for last.
