Great Room Addition/Exterior Renovation in Lakewood

Traditional Exterior, Chicago

This exterior renovation is actually part of a large addition not seen from the front of the home. Not having enough space for the family to hang out, an addition encompassing a new great room open to the kitchen was designed to be added to the rear of the home. The addition also included a wet bar that adjoined the new great room space. While the renovation was being completed, a new mud room/laundry room was also re-designed to include space for a bank of built in locker type cabinets, and laundry storage and counter space. The home’s exterior look has been completely changed with the use of standing seam copper roof detailing, an elegant new window and redesigned entry area complete with columns and portico, as well as the addition of veneered stone detailing throughout the home’s exterior. Simple detailing such as this takes this home from just ordinary to extraordinary at a glance!
