Before condition
The home had strong architectural bones, including Spanish Mediterranean character, oak floors, vaulted ceilings, and a desirable split-level layout. However, it needed a full rehab to modernize the kitchen, bathrooms, lower level, outdoor areas, and overall finish quality while preserving the home’s charm.
Scope of work
Full interior rehab, redesigned kitchen with custom cabinets, installed wide white stone countertops, added warm mushroom-colored tile finishes, refinished and restored oak flooring, updated main hallway bathroom, added new lower-level full bathroom with stall shower, improved lower-level bonus office/flex space, added backyard access from lower level with glass door, complete transformation of front and backyard landscaping, added or improved fencing, patio, and lawn, improved overall interior flow and presentation, preserved exposed wood cathedral ceilings and Spanish Mediterranean character.
Result
The project transformed the home into a polished Laurel District residence that balances original architectural charm with modern comfort. The finished property offers bright living spaces, a central redesigned kitchen, generous bedrooms, two updated bathrooms, flexible lower-level space, private outdoor living, garage access, and a strong neighborhood lifestyle.
