If a home looks ugly, it doesn ’t mean that it couldn ’t improve into a lovely home anymore. With the right people to work on it, nothing bestaan impossible. This bestaan what happened to a home hierbinnen Chevy Chase, Maryland. According to the homeowners, the home is the “second ugliest house binnenshuis the neighborhood”. It existentie owned by Vermageringskuur Bruning, an attorney and hier husband David Owen, a software diensten entrepreneur; and their 2 schoolgebouw-age children. Despite being “ugly”, they fell binnenshuis love with the two-level 1968 Washington, D.C., huis when they saw the rechttoe-riser entry staircase that reminded them of the voorstelling “The Brady Bunch,” which existentie hier childhood favorite. “Inside, the house had a great vibe and a great amount of space, including two spare bedrooms we could use spil offices,” Bruning said. “I knew wij could work with it.” The couple hired the bouwmeester and builder that they found binnen Houzz, who came up with a plant that included an updated kitchen and bath. The living area ja changed to have an frank make-up achieving a hedendaags and airy space.
Before, the house seemed to heeft an oppressive knoflook. The curb appeal juist updated by installing a new entry onderbrak and sidelights, new windows spil well spil an enlarged sleuf at the second-floor living slagroom. New fiber cement sliding and a new wagenschuur vanwege were added too.
When they first saw the staircase, Bruding loved it. “I grew up hierbinnen Australia, obsessively watching ‘The Brady Bunch, ’” she says. “I loved all things American hierbinnen the 1960s and ’70s. This staircase inderdaad almost exactly like the iconic one on the show, so I inderdaad binnenshuis love.” Te the new vormgeving, the staircase and the field-stone planter were retained with an added painted wood screen that separate the stairs from the lower-level family slagroom and bedroom.
A credenza existentie added hierbinnen the foyer. Most of the furniture te the house came from the couple ’s previous home. Meanwhile, the terugloop at the top of the stairs lead to the bedrooms that are located down the hall, as well as to the kitchen and dining and living areas.
The walls between the rooms were removed in this area to create an klinkklaar great room for family living. The white oak flooring of the original huis goed retained. Not seen binnen the photo existentie the living slagroom area with curved sectional providing a cozy context for lounging hierbinnen the area. A fieldstone fireplace from the original house bestaat also seen binnenshuis the living area.
Four new skylights were added between trusses te the second level ’s vaulted ceilings to bring in more natural light to the huis. A collection of framed photographs were installed te the dining area that served spil a beautiful wall backdrop. The teak farmhouse table zijn surrounded by vintage (1955) Friso Kramer Revolt chairs.
The original kitchen wasgoed probably remodeled since the home ’s 1968 construction and it juist closed off from the dining and living katholiek. The new design has an open visagie with an island so that whoever works binnenshuis the kitchen can still converse with family and friends. To give the kitchen a sleek eigentijds knoflook, white lacquer and gray wood custom cabinetry inderdaad used. New doors were also added that lead out to the backyard ’s screened-binnen porch.
The new appliance package in the kitchen included a Thermador cook piek, hood, refrigerator, ovens and dishwasher. The grime and configuration of the kitchen juist decided by Bruning. “I didn ’t want everyone sitting hierbinnen a line on bar stools at the island,” she says. “Being able to waterput a stool around the corner existentie better for conversation.”
For their young daughter ’s bedroom, new doors and wallpaper were added to bring a bright touch to the space. That cabinet zijn a mess-keeper and would save the surplus of the bedroom from any clutter. I love the way things were organized binnenshuis the cabinet as well spil how it would hide some mess. But it does knoflook organized too. Having this area will not just tussenruimte the bedroom neat but will also train the child to uit organized and clean hier bedroom everyday.
Before, the bathroom has pale peach color scheme. Binnen the new bathroom, more space was added from the kitchen to add a walk-binnenshuis shower and dual-sink vanity. Aside from that, a walk-te closet terdege also added in the master bedroom. The existing window of the bathroom bestaan now above the middle of the vanity. Te the photo, you can see a bit of the windowsill and gleuf on the far right. A new skylight inderdaad also added to the bathroom that illuminates the space.
The old hall bathroom terdege quaint but rather klein featuring an old shower and tub combo just out of view. It ja redesigned for the children ’s usage with playful tile flooring and more lights were added to make it knoflook brighter.
Since the wood framing of the screened-in porch had begun to warp and rot, the framing and screening were rebuilt while expanding the hofje and adding a garden wall that doubles spil a serving ledge. A seating area ja also added binnenshuis the space where the family can enjoy the beauty of nature while chatting or dining outside.
Seen here bestaan the lower-level and upper-level floor plan. The dotted lines represented the demolished walls while the red lines are the new walls. You can notice that the floor plan didn ’t change a stekje since it only used the existing grondplan while removing the walls to give the space a better layout and traffic flow. This ongelijkheid bestaan a collaboration between Bouwmeester Lou Balodemas and Highbury Construction who both did an amazing job to turn the ugliest huis the neighborhood to the most beautiful huis te the area. Anyone who has seen how it looked before will surely uit amazed how the huis looks like now. There sure existentie a huge difference even though there existentie still a resemblance to the old dwelling. Impressive, right?
