A Designer’s Touch

With three growing boys and two big dogs, homeowners Kristen and Eric Bassett were running out of space in their 47th Street home.

“It served our family well,” Kristen says. “But as our boys got bigger, the house got smaller.”

Wanting to stay in East Sacramento, the family came across a duplex for sale on a stately street only a few blocks from their home. “We obviously were not going to move into a duplex, but we saw the potential. We could make it exactly what we wanted and needed,” Kristen says.
