Best Whole House Remodel

$200,000-$500,000

The Goal: To finish a second round of updates to this 1970s Tudor-style home, including a game room and master suite.

Best Kitchen Remodel over $120,000

The Goal: To update the existing 1980s-style kitchen to a more contemporary look with an open floor plan.

The Challenge: The homeowner wanted a more spacious look, so an existing wall needed to be removed and the ceilings raised.

The Result: The dining room and kitchen are divided by a base cabinet and suspended wall cabinet for an open yet separate look between the rooms. An island was installed and the wall between the garage pushed back for additonal space. The ceilings were raised via a truss system, and skylights now offer natural light. The space has a modern look with granite countertops, mosaic tile walls and espresso-colored frameless cabinetry. A fireplace and walnut flooring stained different colors finish the look. 

The Judges Liked: The kitchen’s 30-plus person dining space and its modern colors, fixtures and design.

The Challenge: Removing original walls for the extensive structural framing required for the project.

The Result: The L-shape of the game room keeps the pool table tucked around one corner, while the entertainment area and bar are open to the larger part of the room. Wainscot paneling and tinted Venetian plaster walls create a cohesive concept and are ideal for displaying artwork. The new master suite was created from two smaller bedrooms, a shared bath and the attic. The additional space allowed for his-and-her entries, vanities and closets, as well as a walk-in shower, make-up area and bathtub. The final touch is a balcony off the master bedroom that overlooks the entry foyer below.

The Judges Liked: The attention to detail, including the woodwork, tile and lighting.
