Kitchen Update in an Older Home
These homeowners were thrilled to buy their 1931 Colonial. The home sits on a large lot and had plenty of charm, including much of its original natural woodwork and details, but it needed a lot of work.
The priority was to improve the overall flow of the first floor, which was achieved largely by taking down a long wall to open up the living room, kitchen and entry foyer. A half bathroom was also removed (adding a new one in the first-floor office) and new back entryway added.
"Despite all the changes — removing a large wall, completely updating the kitchen, redoing much of the plumbing and electrical on the first floor — [Custom] managed to keep the charm of the house intact. We feel like we have a partner in Custom, that they have our best interests at heart. They’re really vested in making sure we can do what we want to do with our home, and they care about the quality of the work."
