Our March Remodel of the Month features a whole-home renovation of 1960s ranch-style home, used as the family's vacation home. Their main goal was to modernize the interior, improve the flow, and make the main spaces more functional. To achieve this, an underused den off the kitchen was split to create a large walk-in kitchen pantry and a front hall closet. Reconfigurations also created a mudroom and half bath off the garage entrance, in addition to multiple cosmetic upgrades.

The final result is a stunning, contemporary, and refreshed home. The improvements opened up the space, created more storage for better organization, and resulted in a more relaxing and enjoyable vacation home experience for the whole family.
