Periodically I enjoy checking in with my past clients to see how they are adjusting to their new homes. Â Recently I visited with a family for who I helped sell their very first home in order to find a home with my space for their teenage boys. Â They wanted a traditional home with a great location in Norwell and more square footage. Â The only home at that time with the square footage they were looking for was a large contemporary in a lovely area in Norwell with a beautifully landscaped yard with a pool. Â Although it was a contemporary style home, it had high ceilings, and a more traditional floor plan; living room/family room, open kitchen and dining space, sitting room and 1/2 bath on the first floor, 4 bedrooms and 2 full baths upstairs with a finished basement and an additional bath. The home's finishes were simple in keeping with a contemporary home, updating was needed, but it would not require any altering of the floor plan.
The home offered them a lot of space and a relaxed life style, great for entertaining with its open floor plan and pool area. Â As the house needed updating and had some other deferred maintenance issues, it was offered at a great price and gave my clients the opportunity to gain equity.
They lived in the home for one year prior to starting their remodeling projects so they could get a feel for the property and figure out what they wanted. Â The first undertaking was the kitchen. Â Price was very important since they will be relocating again in the future. Â They chose Dennis Kitchens for their designer/contractor. Â Throughout the process, Dennis Kitchens fully communicated their design options and helped them to make the tough decisions. Â The renovation took three weeks from start to finish. Â Dennis Kitchens oversaw everything from ripping out the old cabinets, to electrical, plumbing, countertops and new cabinetry. Â
