Annandale Main Level Renovation

This was a split-level home with a small room serving as the kitchen and no outdoor space.

The Goal

The goal was to create an open-layout main level and extend the family’s living space outdoors.

The Transformation

We created an open-layout floor plan on the main level, added a reading nook in the family room, and built a screened porch at the back of the home to complement the outdoor kitchen.

Details That Made the Difference

• We added a toe-kick drawer for the dog bowls.
• We installed new white oak flooring.
• We used rustic beams on the porch to bring warmth to the space.

Challenges

The home’s older, cloth-covered electrical wiring needed to be replaced. We also needed to add outdoor storage without taking away from the carport.

Solution

We gutted the first floor and worked with an interior designer to create a modern, warm kitchen and living area for the whole family. We also added a screened deck at the back to extend the living area and a storage area that ties into the carport.
