Englewood Acres
Step into a reimagined living experience where beauty and functionality meet in every corner. This home has undergone a remarkable transformation, beginning with the living room, now featuring elegant oak flooring, a natural stone-clad fireplace, and vertical grain fir decorative beams.
The kitchen shines as the heart of the home, featuring rift sawn white oak and sleek white cabinets for a modern yet timeless aesthetic. A new island with seating invites connection and casual dining, while under-cabinet lighting highlights quartz countertops and backsplash, adding practicality and luxury. Just off the kitchen, the stylish bar area is perfect for entertaining, with a butcher block countertop, glass cabinetry doors, a wine rack, and a pantry cabinet equipped with pull-out storage.
Outside, the backyard is a haven of relaxation. New windows and siding frame the expanded deck, which includes two timber-framed covered areas—a cozy dining nook and a vaulted space designed for family time around the firepit. The serene views of trees and expansive garden beds complete this outdoor retreat.
The master bathroom offers a spa-like experience with a luxurious freestanding tub and a beautifully designed shower space. Even the staircase has been revitalized, with existing newel posts refinished in a lighter, clear coat for a sleek yet traditional look. The laundry room matches the home’s refreshed style, featuring tile flooring, fresh paint, and custom cabinetry for a polished and practical space.
This renovation isn’t just a makeover—it’s a thoughtfully planned renewal that balances functionality, and elegance at every turn.
