Contemporary Whole Home Renovation
Aspinwall, PA
Project Location:
Three Months
Project Timeline:
Renovate an entire home to turn an outdated tri-plex into a contemporary single family home with functional layout and classy finishes for the modern family.
Project Vision:
The original home built in the early 1900's had been turned into a triplex rental and was severely outdated and closed in. The homeowners desired to turn the home back into a single family and create a 5 bdrm, 3.5 bth contemporary designed home with a open first floor plan and large master bedrooms.
The project scope was to demolish the entire inside of the house and frame out the new spaces with beams, structural walls and partition walls. All of the electrical, plumbing and HVAC had to be replaced and upgraded. New energy-efficient windows and doors were installed. Then the new house would be drywalled, finished, trimmed out and painted inside and out.
The front porch would be renovated with new supporting columns and railings.
The new living room was opened up to create a more open floor plan to the main hallway and the kitchen with built-ins flanking the fireplace. The existing oak hardwood floors were refinished to match the rest of the house.
The new kitchen received new white cabinets and white marble looking quartz counter tops and kitchen island with gray cabinets. The backsplash is white subway tile laid on a herringbone pattern. All new appliances and separate bar area completed the kitchen with refinished oak flooring.
Room was taken from the dining room to create a mud and washer / dryer room from the back entry of the house with new oak flooring to match the rest of the house.
The powder room has new tile flooring with pedestal sink, toilet and vent fan.
Upstairs, all bedrooms had closets built and new oak flooring laid. The master suite includes a new master bathroom with double vanity, walk in shower all in marble tile flooring and white subway tile walls. The master closet was built next to the master bathroom.
The 2nd floor bathroom received new marble tile floor, tub, double vanity and toilet with white subway tile walls.
The 3rd floor had two bedrooms with new carpet floors and closets. The 3rd floor bathroom has new marble tile floor, walk-in shower, sink and toilet with white subway tile walls.
