The first floor needed a little magic. We opened up the kitchen and dining room to create a space that flows naturally, letting light spill in and making every meal, morning coffee, or dinner party feel effortless. The adjoining office received a custom transom window, and floor-to-ceiling bookcases became a show-stopping focal point while subtly connecting the rooms. Refreshed flooring, an inviting kitchen, and thoughtful gathering spaces now allow light and movement to flow throughout the home, making the space feel open, welcoming, and perfectly suited to their lifestyle.
When their family grew in 2023, they asked us to turn the unfinished basement into a space that could do it all—play, relax, entertain, and still feel stylish. Brass inlay details nod to a swanky, cigar-lounge vibe, but nothing feels stuffy—the space is approachable, sophisticated, and completely family-friendly. This basement remodel went on to win NARI Gold, a testament to thoughtful design and craftsmanship.
A motorized pocket door cleverly hides the back-of-house areas, and careful planning keeps all the mechanics invisible while still delivering a total wow factor. Even the fireplace got a glow-up, with re-welding and powder-coating to accommodate dimensional tile, creating a centerpiece you can’t stop admiring.
The result? A basement that blends comfort, style, and practicality effortlessly, perfect for both family life and entertaining friends. From first-floor flow to basement wow-factor details, this Humboldt Ave townhome is a home that’s stylish, functional, and full of personality—ready to be truly lived in and loved.
