Kitchen Remodel - Newtown Square, PA
Having lived in her 1950s Cape Cod home since 2009, Melanie and her husband always knew that changes would have to be made. While the home had the vintage character she was looking for when she moved from Limerick, it also came with some not-so-charming features. Finishes would need to be updated and floor plans opened up.
Like many homeowners, however, they loved their neighborhood and their neighbors. She and her husband considered moving prior to their kitchen remodel, but every home they looked at still needed some sort of renovation. Plus, it would have been hard to leave a location and a home they had grown to love. “We’ve been through all of our big milestones together in this house,” Melanie explained. Everything from marriage to baby to big birthdays has happened in her Newtown Square home. “Every year gets better and better for us here,” she gushed.
After looking at online recommendations and interviewing three companies, Melanie and her husband chose COCOON. Their first meeting with COCOON owner, Chris Payson couldn’t have gone better. “[We] got a great feeling from him right off the bat,” she recalled. She said that she felt that he understood what they were looking for.
COCOON’s team was so nice, Melanie chose to use them twice. Now that her kitchen remodel is complete, Melanie has set her sights on expanding her home to include a true master suite as well as some additional features. The bedroom layout of her home is typical for a Cape Cod: one bedroom downstairs, which she uses for her home office, and two bedrooms upstairs. As Melanie described it, there’s nothing “master” about her current bedroom.
In addition to a master suite above her garage, the full expansion will include a mudroom and a porch. It will also connect the garage to the home. Architectural Designer Jim and owner Chris Payson were instrumental in securing zoning permits for this new project since Melanie lives in an historic neighborhood.
As Melanie continues to update her historic home, she creates family-friendly function in ways that just make life easier and more enjoyable. She plans on staying in her home, “until they wheel us out,” she joked. Transforming her house into her family’s home will help them stay there for a long time—even if, when the time is right, they decide to simply walk out.
