Downtown Ann Arbor Whole Home Remodel & Addition

Our clients loved their neighborhood and being able to walk to work. While they knew it was their forever home, they needed more space. Their goals were to completely update the interior while keeping the original charm. They also wanted to add an addition for more space for their growing family. On the first floor we relocated the kitchen, dining, and laundry room. With the rear addition we were able to enlarge the kitchen and dining and add in a powder room, secondary playroom, mudroom and back entry. On the second floor, the back half was entirely reconfigured. We added a primary suite and a hallway bathroom. With this being a historic home, we left the existing windows in place as well as the trim and baseboards. We kept and refinished the existing stairway railing. The primary bathroom was moved to be more user friendly. We made cosmetic upgrades throughout the home for a cohesive look that matches the homeowner’s style which was transitional with industrial elements.

The basement, which had been previously finished, was a great opportunity to add even more living space to the home. Our team removed all the old vinyl flooring and wood paneling and replaced it with fresh drywall and ceramic tile, which is an excellent durable choice for basements. Additional recessed lighting was added to keep the basement from feeling too dark. In addition to updating the main bathroom space, we added a full bath in the basement. A simple slab style floating vanity keeps aesthetics clean while still maintaining a good deal of storage. The brand new walk-in shower boasts gorgeous geometric marble tile and a combination shower head and handheld wand for a luxurious feel. Finally, a brand new laundry area was added. Our clients knew they wanted some additional storage in the laundry area, so we installed some custom upper and pantry cabinets. By creating a built-in around the washer and dryer, we were able to install a quartz countertop which makes additional space for folding clothes. Patterned ceramic tile add a bit of playfulness and visual interest to the otherwise clean, white space.

It also easily transitions into a mudroom, where you can store extra shoes, sports equipment and winter clothing.
