But the minute we drove around the corner and saw this house, we knew. This was it. Now some of the bedrooms have been remodeled into a computer room for himself, a workroom for his wife, and a rec room with pool table overlooking the backyard swimming pool and gazebo. I built the gazebo for my wife on our 30th wedding anniversary. I guess the house is up to about 3,200 square feet now, and it's worth about twice as much as when we moved in.
Residents like it right where they are Renovations are a common theme in Scenic Heights.
Some families feel the need to expand as they grow. Others, such as Russ and Jean Anderson, simply prefer to change what they have rather than start over somewhere else. Russ Anderson is semi-retired in specialty advertising, and Jean Anderson recently retired from the state Department of Labor. Presently, they're adding a tile floor to the kitchen, Florida room and half the great room. They like it right where they are.
