Winner RibbonHammer Creek Renovations had the privilege of fully remodeling this 1920-built home, transforming its 3,127 square feet into a stunning balance of historic charm and modern functionality. The only elements left untouched were the original hand-laid stone foundation and the main structural framing-everything else was thoughtfully reimagined and rebuilt to create a home that will be cherished for generations. Challenges & Solutions One of the biggest challenges was preserving the original character of the home while giving it the modern flow and livability that today’s families expect. Another design challenge was the detached garage, which originally created disconnection between spaces. Hammer Creek used this as an opportunity to add a thoughtful connector addition, which now houses a mudroom, powder room, and hidden pantry-creating both convenience and cohesion while expanding the home’s usable space. Interior Transformation The first floor features reclaimed, site-finished chestnut hardwood, while the second floor preserves the original hardwoods, blending history with new life. Hammer Creek’s custom farmhouse trim is carried throughout, adding signature detail and craftsmanship. A stone fireplace with shiplap above anchors the living room with warmth and charm. The kitchen was designed for both beauty and function, showcasing Quartz Calacatta Laza countertops and backsplash, a hidden pantry, Miele appliances, and a pot filler for everyday convenience. Additional Highlights • Black iron railing providing style and durability • Stamped concrete foyer and mudroom floors for durability with design appeal • Owner’s suite with his-and-her vanities and a walk-in tile shower, creating a spa-like retreat From top to bottom, this project reflects Hammer Creek’s dedication to quality craftsmanship, timeless design, and problem-solving creativity. What began as a house in need of a complete renovation is now a home reborn-seamlessly blending its 1920 heritage with modern comfort and flow.
