In love with the coastal lifestyle but anchored by careers that keep them in the Washington area, an Arlington couple had their single-level brick rambler transformed into a beach house bungalow.

In 2006, Scott Mikolajzyk and Micah Stein-Verbit exhausted their search for the perfect bungalow and decided to purchase a 1950s rambler on a quarter-acre lot in the Williamsburg section of Arlington. When it came time to remodel, they hired the architectural firm of Mickey Simpson, an area expert when it comes to Arts and Crafts- and bungalow-style renovations.
