1st St Master Suite - December 2023 - Salida, CO

Historic Expansion and Renovation in Downtown Salida

This project on 1st Street in downtown Salida beautifully blends historic preservation with modern innovation. Originally constructed 124 years ago, this historic home was transformed with the addition of an 800-square-foot master suite. Featuring 16-foot vaulted cathedral ceilings and expansive glass windows, the new suite creates a bright, open space that harmonizes with the home’s original character. The ensuite bathroom is a standout, designed with classic brick and tile finishes and enhanced by luxurious heated floors.

In addition to the suite, the home underwent a comprehensive kitchen remodel that combines historic charm with modern functionality. The new design maximizes both style and efficiency, making it a centerpiece of the home. A half-bath was also added to improve convenience, while the existing bathroom was fully renovated to align with the updated aesthetic.

This project exemplifies the seamless integration of historic architecture with contemporary design principles. The updates preserve the home’s timeless appeal while ensuring it meets the needs of modern living, creating a space that honors the past while embracing the present.
