This family with young children in Concord, wanted to convert their colonial to better fit their needs. We bumped out the kitchen and added an island to increase space for cooking and entertaining. A new deck and breakfast nook improves the flow to the outside. The old living room became a formal dining room. A much-needed mudroom and walk-in pantry were created. We added a front porch with closet space and guest pegs and bench for curb appeal. The old dining room became a first floor office, for working at home.
Total Remodel to Age in Place
Empty nesters in Acton wanted to remodel their ranch so they could age in place, increase energy efficiency and host large family gatherings. We converted a breezeway into a tiled mud/laundry room, with walk-in pantry, accessible from the garage. We removed existing walls, remodeled the kitchen and added a family room with a cathedral ceiling insulated with closed cell insulation. Both bathrooms were remodeled, and a missing shower was added to the primary bathroom. All the interior trim and doors were replaced, and the entire inside was freshened with a new coat of paint and refinished wood floors. Exterior low maintenance upgrades included a new asphalt roof, vinyl shingle siding, azek trim, a replacement fiberglass garage door and replacement Harvey vinyl Low E windows. New trex entry landings, a larger patio and front paver walks complete the exterior improvements.
