This outstanding renovation was customized to perfection by Soucie Horner for this current owner who wanted grandparents to be close to kids for the ultimate family experience. The coach house is connected to the main home via a glass enclosed masterpiece of a vestibule. The seller wants to share they used the coach house for grandma, and she has watched her four grandkids grow from birth to heading off to college, while keeping grandmother vital to the daily activities, using the home as multi-generational space.
