Project Highlights This comprehensive makeover includes: Complete Gut and Renovation: Stripping the interiors to create a fresh, modern foundation. New HVAC, Plumbing, and Electrical Systems: Upgrading the home's infrastructure to meet modern standards. Custom Kitchen and Bathrooms: Featuring bespoke kitchen cabinets by Village Handcrafted, four full bathrooms, and one powder room.
