The project
Project overview
This 2,535-square-foot house had good bones and a 1950 floor plan that had never been properly updated. The work was a full interior renovation rather than a room-at-a-time job, which is the cheaper way to do it once you have decided the whole house is coming apart — one mobilization, one schedule, and finishes that actually agree with each other from room to room. The kitchen was rebuilt from scratch in white shaker cabinetry with a quartz waterfall island and new stainless appliances. Both bathrooms were remodeled, including a marble-tile shower and new vanities. New flooring ran through the whole house so nothing transitions awkwardly at a doorway, and the existing lower-level living space was brought up to match the rest.

In the area
Interior Renovation in Libertyville, IL
Libertyville has a deep stock of mid-century houses on generous lots — solid construction, dated layouts, and kitchens that were never designed for how people cook now. A full interior renovation is usually a better value here than moving, because the lot and the location are the expensive parts and you already own them.
