Remodeled Residence up to 3,000 Sq. Ft.

Lake Lotawana Remodel

This lower level creates distinct spaces for entertaining and everyday comfort. A hidden pantry keeps the kitchen pristine, while a dedicated beverage center, piano bar and fireside seating enhance the guest experience. Structural challenges led to creative solutions, including a reconfigured kitchen peninsula and expanded exercise room bath. Carefully planned details, like a concealed liquor cabinet and work/life zone, ensure a stylish and practical living space.
