Always brimming with guests, this Tagaytay home is the fullest empty nest you could find

The house was originally a charming brick structure with sampaguita glass and old railroad tracks, as well as antiques, interesting artwork, and even an office in the attic. A renovation extended the floor area to accommodate a bigger kitchen, a dining area with a longer dining table, an additional living area, a loft, and a powder room.

Thus, the warehouse was turned into an extension of the house, additional space for entertaining the owners’ constant influx of guests.
