Kitchen , family room , master suite , three bathrooms and patio remodel ; patio addition
The charm of this English style cottage had long intrigued the couple who bought it . But , it suffered from unfortunate previous cosmetic changes and structural issues brought on by years of flooding from neighboring properties . The house was not a typical “ fixer-upper ”. It demanded major renovation .
Tearing out an existing deck and sealing openings were the first steps . Attention then focused on the family room and kitchen . The bowed floor that connected the two rooms was leveled , and the mix of terra cotta and ceramic tile was removed and replaced with distressed oak floors . Cabinetry around the wood burning fireplace was reworked for better proportion and to conceal electronics . A new mantel was built and the hearth was painted . French doors with a side window make much more of a statement than the former single door . A dining area was created by reconfiguring the staircase and removing a half wall .
The homeowners worked closely with Ron Wolford on the highly individualized , traditional kitchen Although a wall was removed , two support columns remain and are incorporated into the design that includes a new island . Savannah maple cabinets and granite countertops are accented by subway tile surrounded by a resin marble decorative border and tumbled stone in a basket weave pattern over the sink .
Also on the first floor , a wall was torn out to allow the addition of a bathroom . Its porcelain tile floor is highlighted with black granite inserts . The second floor master bedroom was enlarged by the removal of a closet . Contemporary cabinetry was dressed up with molding before being painted , and the exposed brick gas fireplace was enhanced with trim . Exquisite marble , wainscoting , a garden tub and crystal sconces transformed an office into a posh master bath . The former master bath was converted to a walk-in closet . Water problems caused by faulty tiling were solved before a guest bathroom was redesigned to accommodate a large shower . A gold-flecked copper color glass sink , a Black Galaxy granite floor with fragments of stone and granite , and oil rubbed bronze hardware acknowledge thoughtful attention to details . While the interior renovation was extensive , the outside of the home received its own makeover with a new patio and pergola .
The remodel also included HVAC adjustments and the installation of fiberglass insulation in the second floor bath .
