Classic Home Renovation - Magnolia

The Traditional Home Remodel - Magnolia project represents a meticulous transformation of a 1936 brick and wood-sided residence in Seattle, WA, expertly renovated to enhance its appeal for prospective buyers. This comprehensive renovation involved significant structural and aesthetic improvements, ensuring the home meets modern standards while preserving its classic charm. The project commenced with the removal of the basement floor in the mechanical room, extending through to the basement bedroom and recreation room, down to the base of the stairs. This was a critical step in addressing the home's foundational issues, which were resolved through the engineering and installation of the Grip Tite System. This innovative solution secured and lifted the foundation, effectively repairing any settlement concerns. Electrical and plumbing systems were updated to comply with current codes, including the rewiring of the basement, kitchen, main floor outlets, and most lighting circuits, accompanied by the installation of a new electrical distribution panel. The plumbing and gas lines were replaced as necessary, ensuring safety and efficiency throughout the home. A new Lenox Elite 95% efficient forced air furnace was installed, complete with a Honeywell thermostat, promoting energy efficiency and comfort. The sunroom was completely rebuilt, featuring new windows, heating ducts, electrical work, and siding, thus creating a bright and inviting space perfect for relaxation. Craftsmanship was paramount throughout the project, particularly in the main living areas where all new oak flooring was installed, enhancing the home's aesthetic appeal. The final outcome of the remodel showcases a harmonious blend of traditional design and modern amenities, exemplified by a beautifully appointed beach-style walk-out basement that serves as an attractive focal point. With a standard brick fireplace and a soothing palette of gray walls, this space not only reflects contemporary design trends but also retains the warmth and character of the original home. The completed project offers a stunning testament to quality renovation, ready to welcome its new owners.
