But December 13th, 2013, is the date the owners of 44 Mountain View Road in Ranelagh signed on the dotted line. What followed was a full year of renovations before the family moved in for Christmas 2014. The house was rewired, replumbed and re-roofed, a rear extension was added, and its energy rating was improved to a B3. The rear of the house steps down into the extension, linking the original structure with the newer addition. The owners say the space came into its own during the pandemic, when it functioned as a home office away from the noise in the family rooms downstairs.
