When the owners of this classic 1910 Foursquare engaged us to design and build a remodel, they were close to selling and moving on. Undeterred, our design-build team came up with a thoughtful plan that offered the modern livability they craved while respecting historical character of Nashville's West End area. We built a rear addition for a first-floor master suite, powder room and kitchen with a walk-out basement. Its hipped roof mirrors the main house’s and fits right under a second-story window. We also built a new screen porch and large deck and opened the kitchen to the remodeled family room. Custom-built columns and casework conceal a structural beam. Shaker-style cabinets in both master bath and kitchen are topped with Cambria quartz countertops. The latter’s two-toned treatment adds visual interest and texture.
