Embarking on a large-scale and highly detailed home renovation project is a decision one should not take lightly. The unique requirements for this particular home renovation project would incorporate the principles of aging in place, constructing a secure and accessible home, while infusing timeless grandeur with highly customized attention to detail and quality craftsmanship. After researching and interviewing a handful of esteemed custom home builders, our clients chose WEST BAY HOMES based on our quality of finish and design that they reviewed firsthand, as well as the glowing references from our previous clients. 

Although empty nesters, our client's propensity for the larger estate home, revealing many richly layered rooms, each room filled with custom amenities and features that make daily living easy and elegant while showcasing their treasured collections such as 17th-century furniture, modern art, and classic books that would come to life within the project scope. 

Careful communication and a genuinely collaborative approach to bring our client's vision to life resulted in the following highlights of this fully renovated 5 bedroom, 6 bath 6,758 sq. ft. residence:   

The engineering of a structural steel frame to accommodate the weight of the newly constructed sunroom flowing off the kitchen’s breakfast room, exhibiting an impressive 18’ ceiling height, Marvin windows and doors, and heated marble flooring with newly installed deck and railing system beyond. The addition of a heated vaulted ceiling airlock to the front elevation’s main entry accompanied with heated tile flooring, a custom front entrance door, and a transom to name some of the improvements. Raising the main level sunken rooms to one singular level. Addition of a dedicated office desk and storage space off of the newly refined main-level library. Complete exterior and interior paint and stain color palette refresh. New nail-down Brazilian cherry wood flooring, tile and carpeting applications. Extensive millwork detailing and workmanship distinctively enhancing and further customizing door and window frames, the 3-level staircase, walls, and ceilings. Three redesigned and refurbished fireplaces. A collection of thoughtfully placed designer lighting fixtures throughout the exterior and interiors. New plumbing fixtures throughout. New door hardware throughout. Timeless and highly functional custom cabinetry systems throughout. New natural stone applications. New appliances for the remodeled kitchen, basement bar, and laundry room areas. New HVAC. New skylights and heated marble tile floors throughout the classically redesigned primary bathroom. New Hardie Plank siding, new gutters, and new shingle roofing.  The addition of a lower level screened porch area. Newly installed customized security and home audio. 

These particular clients possess a deeply rooted fondness for quality constructed homes infused with character and enduring beauty. Their style steps over trends for finishes with longevity. Together with our client's inspiration, WEST BAY HOMES has reinvented this property to reveal a well-considered atmospheric home for this family to delight in for many years to come.
