Modern House Renovation

Project Scope

This 3-level, 3300 square foot house was stripped and given a complete, modern style, home makeover. Renovations included a master bedroom and ensuite in the loft, 2 bedrooms, full bathroom, office, kitchen, dining and sitting room with a fireplace on the main level, and a bedroom, storage room, bathroom, mechanical room, living room with a fireplace, and an entertainment  room with a wet bar in the basement.  The project was completed as a collaborative effort between the home owner, an interior designer, and the EVERbuilt Developments team. After the planning phase, on-site work took 5 months to complete.
