The new concrete patio provides a large, shaded area for entertaining.

Before: An overgrown patio previously connected the two structures.

Another view of the updated bathroom shows a double vanity along the opposite wall.

Like the kitchen, each of the home's two bathrooms were gutted to repair utilities and add new finishes. Here, the principal bathroom features a walk-in shower with a copper rain head.

A look at one of the three bedrooms, each of which feature a row of windows along the top.

The staircase also provides access to the main entrance, as well as the bedrooms.

The U-shaped floor plan wraps around the staircase at the front of the home.

The opposite end of the living area retains its original function and features an expansive view of the lush property.

Today, one end of the living room is a sunny office space with built-in floating shelves.

The updated fireplace, now painted white, retains the original floating hearth.

With the wall removed, the space feels much more connected to the rest of the home.

Another view of the dining space reveals the fireplace and sitting area.

At the opposite end, overlooking the rear of the home, is the open dining area.

With the previous wall removed, the updated kitchen makes room for a central island overlooking the dining area and staircase landing. The same full-width window overlooks the front of the home and the central patio.

Recently listed in Bayside, Wisconsin, this renovated midcentury property comprises two detached structures—a two-bay garage and a barrel-vaulted house—connected by a central patio. A pass-through between the garages is punctuated by a large tree growing in the middle.

Inside, an original "upside down" floor plan places the living areas upstairs to take advantage of views and the dramatic vaulted ceilings. The latest renovation ditched several walls to create a single open room across the top floor, illuminated by floor-to-ceiling windows at each end.

At night, the cantilevered living area shines brightly, appearing like a floating glass box.

A carved-out gathering area sits toward the edge of the lot. It’s an idyllic spot for contemplation and casual al fresco dining.

An exterior view highlights the home’s tiered layout. Towering, mature trees embrace the dwelling, creating a peaceful city escape.
