The age old question - Renovation or New Build
This luxurious bungalow started out as a renovation, as many do. After preforming a renovation on this client’s home almost 10 years prior, it was starting to show its age, and several of the items which were foregone in the original were now needing to be done.
The Home Owners envisioned a very open design that would need additional space added to the home, which meant an addition. There was also a desire to introduce outdoor living space to the new design and layout.
After reviewing the plans and coming up with a renovation budget for our client, it became apparent that it would cost only marginally more to simply rebuild a new home instead of carrying out a renovation. The age old evaluation of renovation or new build. Building new carries with it many advantages, perhaps the most significant being the ability to start with a clean slate and remove the need to compromise.
Hillson Homes are experts at helping their clients evaluate which project options best fit their needs and goals. Being both a renovator and new home builder makes this a simple process.
Walking into the home reveals the large open space which contains the kitchen, dining and family room areas. This space carries through to the rear of the home where a large vaulted ceiling extends from the interior to the exterior seamlessly. This outdoor living space is visible and accessible right from the kitchen and boasts it’s own cooking facilities as well as overhead infrared heaters. An outdoor fireplace completes the space, and is accessible directly off of the master bedroom.
The kitchen’s bright, off-white shaker style cabinets and an oversized quartz island provide ample space for meal preparation and entertaining family and friends. Being a bungalow, the main floor also contains an office, the master bedroom and ensuite as well as a back entry with lockers and an adjoining pantry which leads to the kitchen.
