The original home, full of potential, came with structural and spatial limitations. The homeowners wanted a private, low-maintenance space with modern features and proximity to community conveniences. In response, the design team enhanced flow, natural light, and efficiency—making smart upgrades while honoring the home’s original bones.

Key architectural interventions included installing a steel beam to open the kitchen to the vaulted great room, visually and functionally connecting the heart of the home. New windows and upgraded insulation improved performance, while reusing elements—like re-hung doors and original railings—balanced the budget and preserved character.

Design-wise, the aesthetic embraces approachable luxury. A dramatic vaulted ceiling in the great room is overlooked by a loft clad in warm wood paneling, while wide-plank flooring, refined trim, and all-new cabinetry establish a palette of understated elegance. A refaced

fireplace adds a grounded focal point with texture and charm.

The kitchen is a must-see, with custom cabinetry, Wolf and Sub-Zero appliances, and new countertops that make cooking and gathering effortless. Every inch was refreshed with intention—from lighting and plumbing to a state-of-the-art sound and security system.

With new plumbing, upgraded electrical, a comprehensive paint refresh, and thoughtfully selected materials, this remodel is a masterclass in elevating a home without overdoing it. Even with a full transformation, the project was completed within budget – proof that smart design can meet real-life budgets.
