After

The Caplan home was a wreck — literally. A while back, a car drove into their home and destroyed the landscaping, part of the sun porch and took out one of the porch columns. Tired of the lopsided look of a one-columned portico, the homeowners decided it was time to fix their damaged Colonial.

Before

Highlights include a circular flagstone walkway, a freshened sun porch and gorgeous landscaping.
