A large lot with mature trees were incentives for this client to purchase a classic 1950s ranch house to retire in. An addition enlarged the master suite while the kitchen, utility and powder rooms were reconfigured for an updated floor plan. Existing hardwood floors were refinished, and new hardwood and tile floors added. Custom Shaker-style cabinets and granite countertops were installed throughout the project.

Built in 1960, the home has been owned by this couple since 1980. Through that time, repairs and patches had been done, but needed substantial renovation. They liked the galley shape, but did not like the placement of appliances nor the limited and awkward storage (see the before photos). Once they decided this would be their home through retirement, it was time to get it back into shape.
The kitchen was the remodeling focus, but the hall bath had prior leak damage and the owners wanted an updated space. Also, the general home conditions called for updated paint, flooring, and lighting.

Open kitchen with raised bar.

Removing the walls in the kitchen opens the space to the foyer and dining/living area. The black cabinetry with white countertops and goldtone hardware is very cutting edge in style. Eye-catching gold-trimmed marble focal point behind the stove.

What a beautiful way to downsize for retirement. This backyard is a true testament to compact luxury with no essential feature overlooked. Careful planning has ensured that the yard is basically low maintenance, while the perfect complement of flowers and shrubs can count on attentive green thumbs for their loving care.

This home was custom designed to accentuate the 180 degree view of the Okanagan Lake and the valleys. The warmth is highlighted with the hardwood flooring, tile work, linear gas fireplaces and the warm color tones. The main floor living will allow the owners to enjoy retirement in this home for years to come. The luxurious, lower level wine cellar with custom wrought iron door adds character to this stunning home!

Our customer wanted to update their standard oak kitchen in a retirement apartment with high gloss, modern cabinetry.
