The three-story townhouse at 6047 Kingsbury was originally a part of a sixfamily apartment building. It was completely renovated in 1976 and converted to the present townhouse style and was purchased by

John and Tia Ault in 1977.

There is a striking three-story atrium in the entry hall which is shared with the neighboring townhouse. Inside the Ault’s, the first floor consists of the living room, dining area, kitchen and half bath. Especially eye-catching are the exposed brick walls on the first floor and along the staircase. The second floor has a large master bedroom with two-story cathedral windows which add to the room’s bright and cheery look. This room is also designed to be used as a family room, and a freestanding fireplace can easily be installed. There’s also a bedroom for their young daughter and a full bath on the second level.

The third floor has one large room with a balcony that overlooks the master bedroom. The Aults use this room as a combination playroom and office. In the future, they plan to divide the room to create a guest bedroom in one half and an office/study in the other half.

When the building was renovated, new hardwood floors were installed throughout the house. The original window frames were maintained and were painted and reinstalled after the walls were finished. A central heating and air conditioning system was also installed.

John and Tia have had very little work to do themselves in their completely redone house. They have done some painting and wallpapering and are beginning to build a patio in the backyard which they hope to have completed in time for summer barbeques.
