Full Remodel on Birchview

When a growing family fell in love with their Maple Grove lake lot but needed more space, HBRE transformed their cozy rambler into an elegant two-story home that perfectly balances space and style. The renovation completely reimagined the main floor with a second-story addition, dramatically increasing living space while maintaining the property’s charming lakeside character. The home’s exterior now features sophisticated Cape Cod architecture with crisp gray siding, bright white trim, welcoming dormers, and an inviting covered entry.

The interior renovation embraces a modern organic aesthetic where every detail works in harmony. The open-concept main floor features wide-plank light oak flooring that flows seamlessly through the space while soaring windows capture natural light and lake views. The living room centers around a clean-lined fireplace with floating wood shelves and built-in cabinets, creating an elegant focal point without sacrificing functionality. Modern brass chandeliers define the dining area, while natural wood furniture and cognac leather accent chairs add warmth to the serene white backdrop.

Throughout the home, thoughtful design choices enhance both beauty and livability. A dramatic staircase with white newel posts and black metal balusters connects the two floors, while the welcoming entry features a substantial wood and glass door that sets the tone for the entire space. The renovation successfully delivers the additional square footage this growing family needed while creating an aesthetic that feels both fresh and timeless – proof that with creative design and quality craftsmanship, you don’t have to choose between space and style.
