Elm Grove Whole House Remodel

A tired 1960s ranch was transformed into a warm, modern home designed for multigenerational living. A full roof rebuild allowed for vaulted ceilings throughout, including a dramatic barrel‑vaulted foyer that continues onto a matching natural‑cedar porch. A light‑filled kitchen addition features a custom range wall, Wolf and Sub‑Zero appliances, and a private pantry that keeps everyday living organized and elevated.
The expanded bedroom wing now includes two ensuites and a refined powder room, while the primary suite offers dual vanities, a barrier‑free shower, and heated floors. New high‑performance windows brighten every room and improve comfort year‑round.
The lower level was fully finished to support family gatherings, with dedicated children’s areas and a workout room. Throughout the home, custom details—including a library with built‑in shelving, a rolling ladder, and wallpapered walls and ceilings—add character and depth.
Outside, original stone was thoughtfully salvaged and reused, complemented by all‑new siding and trim. A restored cupola from a neighboring property adds a distinctive architectural touch. The new bluestone patio and raised natural‑gas firepit create an inviting four‑season outdoor living space.
What was once dark and dated is now a functional, beautiful, and long‑lasting home built for connection and comfort.
