The Winchester City Board of Architectural Review approved a one‑story addition on the north side of 427 North Loudoun Street that will add a garage and a family room.

Contractor Richie Pfeiffer, representing owners Ray and Heather Watkins, described the project as a single‑story addition sized to avoid an earlier encroachment and placed about four feet from the property line. Pfeiffer said the addition will use Marvin wood windows, a standing‑seam metal roof with 16‑inch panels to match the existing house, and Hardie plank siding in a smooth profile and a color chosen to match the current paint.

Pfeiffer said the garage door will be a new steel door and that the project had been reduced to avoid a prior encroachment; a final survey was pending. Board members asked for details about siding reveal and trim profiles; Pfeiffer said the siding would be smooth, similar in reveal to existing cladding (discussed as roughly a six‑inch to 7¼‑inch reveal in the hearing), and that window and trim moldings would match at five‑quarter stock.

A motion to approve the application carried on a voice vote. The board and applicant discussed minor details, such as clearance between the bottom of the siding and the driveway to meet manufacturer recommendations, and agreed to coordinate final trim and foundation interface details with staff.
