This growing family needed more crawl space, but love their antique Craftsman style home. An addition expanded the kitchen, made space for a primary bedroom and 2nd bath on the upper level. The large finished basement provides plenty of space for play and for gathering, as well as a bedroom and bath for visiting family and friends. This home was designed to be lived-in and well-loved, honoring the warmth and comfort of its original 1920s style.

Built in 1998, the 2,800 sq ft house was lacking the charm and amenities that the location justified. The idea was to give it a "Hawaiiana" plantation feel. Exterior renovations include staining the tile roof and exposing the rafters by removing the stucco soffits and adding brackets. Smooth stucco combined with wood siding, expanded rear Lanais, a sweeping spiral staircase, detailed columns, balustrade, all new doors, windows and shutters help achieve the desired effect. On the pool level, reclaiming crawl space added 317 sq ft. for an additional bedroom suite, and a new pool bathroom was added. On the main level vaulted ceilings opened up the great room, kitchen, and master suite. Two small bedrooms were combined into a fourth suite and an office was added. Traditional built-in cabinetry and moldings complete the look.

Sunken family room addition with ICF insulated crawl space beneath it. Heated tile floors, the addition of a powder room, fireplace and large format sliding doors make this space comfortable and well connected to the exterior patio.

This Brookfield project includes two additions to the home – a garage addition and a sunroom/dining room addition with crawl space. The home’s exterior was completely redone, with new siding, windows, roof, and exterior doors. There is also a new driveway that leads to the new garage addition. A new concrete patio was added off the back of the home, plus a whole house generator was installed. The main level was remodeled to include an updated kitchen, a living room, and a hallway leading to the upper-level bedrooms.

Custom built-in cabinetry provides the perfect space for family photo albums and additional storage. Dark cabinetry and beaded glass contributes to the transitional feel of the room. The built-in entertainment center is a great solution for hiding electronics and wires.

The home owners wanted a place to entertain, play and workout in their 3000 square foot basement. They added a completely soundproofed media room, a large restaurant-like wet bar, glass enclosed workout area, kids play/game space, great room, two bedrooms, two bathrooms, storage room and an office. The overall modern esthetic and colour scheme is bright and fresh with rich charcoal accent woodwork and cabinets. 9’ ceilings and custom made 7’ doors throughout add to the overall luxurious yet comfortable feel of the basement. The area below the stairs is a child’s dream hideaway with a small crawl-thru entry access, toy drawers and lighted reading cove.
