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.
