Mid-Century Modern "Restovation"

A Sacramento Ca, Mid Century Modern whole home "Resto-vation"
When Benning Design Construction owner Eric Benning found the original Carter Sparks by Streng Brothers homes situated on a good-sized lot backing up to the American River, he knew he had a winner on his hands. After several years of being a self professed “Streng stalker” he had seen and toured nearly every available midcentury style home that had come and gone from the Sacramento real estate market, waiting for the right fit. With their kids growing up and nearly all out of the house, Eric and his wife Tara were looking to downsize into an authentic midcentury dwelling and realize their goals of renovating a forever home perfectly tailored to their dreams.

This particular Streng had enough remaining of it’s good bones and an excellent location, and was begging for someone with a love of midcentury design to bring it back to its’ former glory. With his long experience in the design-build industry and the BDC team at his back, Eric was exactly the right new owner for this mid-mod atom in the rough. The project was taken down to the studs, added on to and carefully put back together with a revised floor plan and finishes that honor the original architecture. The modifications were made with the shout that this is what Carter Sparks and the Streng Brothers would do today, aligning with the way we people live and modern materials that were not available at the time.
