Glen Cove Flip House
Contemporary Bedroom, New York
BEFORE
This house was built in the 1950’s. The original layout was not suitable for a contemporary family. The space was divided into small rooms. The second floor was not finished, it was a raw space with low ceilings. All the electrical and plumbing had to be upgraded and it needed a new HVAC system. The house had a solid foundation, but everything else needed to be reinvisioned, redesigned and rebuilt.
AFTER
We took down several walls on the first floor, added the french door which brightened up the room. Then, we completely reconfigured and opened the space. This allowed for a huge kitchen with a large island, perfect for entertainment, or homework, plenty of counter space and storage. We used walnut cabinetry for the island and combined it with white solid wood cabinets on the perimeter. Located right off the kitchen, a former bedroom was converted into a playroom/den, but could be used for a home office, perfect for a family.
We raised the roof on the second level and expanded it to add a master suite, two bedrooms and a guest bathroom. The two bedrooms are perfect for kids, or anyone else and both have custom closets and lot’s of light. All bedrooms have custom closets.
The master bedroom is very spacious. It has plenty of room for a king size bed and a nice seating area where you can unwind, read, work or have a cup of coffee. The master bath offers a custom double vanity and large shower with the frameless glass enclosure.
A lot of thought, hard work and love went into redesigning and building this urban style home.
What makes this home unique is the craftsmanship, custom details and quality.
