As background, when the home was purchased in bought in 1994/5, the current owner did an extensive renovation down to the studs and all systems/mechanical plumbing roof electrical was modernized. At that time, current owners added the living room office side of the house, and dug out the basement to have full height rooms there. The wood floors throughout you see today (except in the large family room, these added in 2010) all are from this initial rebuild in 1995.
In 2010, we added the extra large family room, mud room, back entry, two car garage with upstairs space and new hardscape as part of the 2010 update/modernization. Owners also updated our kitchen lighting, tile backsplash, island appliances at that time. Bosch dishwasher was replaced about three years ago. Most importantly, the wood floor in the large family room addition from 2010 is from the Carlisle company that specializes in specialty cuts and finishes of wood for high end properties.
There are architectural plans and landscape plans for all this in the house now.
