Country Estate - Northbrook, IL

Traditional Exterior, Chicago

A complete makeover for a sprawling Tudor style ranch. This Northbrook home, built in the 60s, had survived a number of renovations and additions throughout the 70s and 80s. But the time had come to do it right. This home renovation was both complete and dramatic – inside and out. We were able to breathe new life into the 40+ year old structure by: • Removing the tired brick exterior and wrapped the home in a lighter, warmer exterior of lannon stone and cedar shake siding • Gutting the entire interior • Replacing existing plumbing, HVAC, and electrical systems • Moving a number of walls to optimize space and flow • Adding six bathrooms • Installing a new kitchen • Adding new windows and doors • Creating a home theater • Building a brand new pool house • Constructing an attached three-car garage Though the project was a considerably large transformation, we were mindful to infuse the craftsmanship with custom, thoughtful details throughout. Because when it’s all said and done, it’s the little things that truly elevate a space.
