Complete home remodel
The homeowners put out a 911 remodel call to Foster Brothers Construction about this Crescent Hill house . Extensive renovations and transformative interior design were performed over three years and in five phases , all of which conscientiously respected the home ’ s Arts and Crafts style .
Before changing the footprint of the kitchen , termite damage had to be addressed and existing fire damage required structural reinforcement of the ceiling and roof system . The new kitchen has Shaker-style dark-stained oak cabinets with matching crown molding , Danby marble countertops with a subway tile backsplash , and a bar area that was converted from a former closet . The reworked layout afforded the inclusion of an island .
Deep cabinets in the dividing wall between the half bath and master bath conceal updated plumbing . The new pedestal sink and octagonal tile are in keeping with the house ’ s original character .
Moving a wall in the master bedroom allowed the addition of built-in cabinetry of the same finish as that in the kitchen and a walk-in closet that has a convenient chute to the basement laundry room . The remodel of the former screen porch into a new master bath reflects an innovative use of space . A travertine tile shower takes center stage in the room that ’ s also distinguished by its obsidian-accented travertine floor .
Tongue and groove composite decking and a new railing were added to the front porch along with new landscape work and exterior lighting during the second phase of renovation
The third stage began with rebuilding stairs that led from the basement to the first floor , and focused on the unfinished basement which was entirely excavated and new concrete was poured and steel columns were added to support the house . Basement waterproofing and new plumbing and sewage systems were installed . In phase four , an exercise / television room , wine cellar , cedar closet , mechanical room , laundry , and bathroom were added in the basement . Finally , the second floor was replumbed and rewired , floors and baseboards were removed and sloping floor issues were resolved , the height of the handrail was raised , and newel posts were added and top nail oak floors installed to match the first floor . Along with a large 2nd floor laundry / closet area . Also , new cabinetry was installed and a more functional layout was created for the bathroom Danby marble-topped white cabinetry and small gray tiles set the scene of tasteful tranquility .
In addition , during the remodeling , the top nail oak floors throughout the house were refinished or installed a new , the HVAC was reworked and windows were replaced throughout the entire house .
