Our Before & After Journey with 3131 Sumter
Introduction
Welcome to the narrative of our most ambitious project yet, the luxurious and high-end remodel of the 3131 Sumter house! Nestled in a coveted neighborhood, this 1950s is perfect for any family. We embarked on this remodel with the vision of merging modern amenities with its intrinsic charm. Join us on this retrospective adventure through 3131 Sumter Ave S.
The Five Bedrooms – A Blend of Past and Present
Before:
At first glance, the five bedrooms of 3131 Sumter whispered tales of old eras, each room echoing with a faded echo of the ‘50s. Though they bore the marks of time, the rooms lacked the vibrancy they once held.
After:
We rolled up our sleeves and brought these spaces into the current century while respecting their roots. The master bedroom now bathes in a symphony of neutral tones, a blank canvas for its new inhabitants to make their mark. The remaining bedrooms have been transformed into tranquil havens and lively playrooms, each with its own slice of the mid-century modern vibe that characterizes the house.
The Bathrooms – From Basic to Spa-like
Before:
The trio of bathrooms once felt too rudimentary for this dwelling's grand potential. Functionality was their only offering, without a whisper of luxury.
After:
Fast forward to now, and each bathroom stands as a testament to high-grade finishes and thoughtful design. With custom tiles that feel like a gentle caress underfoot and fixtures that dazzle, these spaces now exude the sort of luxury one might expect in a spa!
The Fenced-in Backyard – A Secluded Retreat
Before:
The backyard needed a facelift!
After:
The transformation here is nothing short of magical. We shaped this once plain backyard into a much tidier space that flows seamlessly into the sunroom. It's now an enclosed slice of paradise that offers not just privacy but a conversation with nature.
The Two Living Rooms – Cultivating Character
Before:
The dual living rooms presented a duality of purpose but not of heart. One was an echo of formal traditions, while the other needed so much help!
After:
In their rebirth, these rooms have found their souls. The first living room has been styled with a custom-stained fireplace and a mantle that beckons family gatherings. In the second, laughter is meant to fill the air, with vibrant games and stories shared under the soft glow of modern lighting.
The Four Seasons Sunroom – An Ethereal Gateway
Before:
The four seasons sunroom was a relic, untapped in its potential to connect the indoors with the out.
After:
By embracing the original glass wall, we've allowed this room to become a conduit to the natural world outside, maintaining a temperature-perfect environment year-round. It stands now, not just as a room, but as a haven that holds the outdoors in a gentle embrace.
Chapter 7: The Open Kitchen – A Culinary Dream
Before:
The kitchen was once a closed-off shadow of its future self, its outdated appliances and finishes crying out for a new life.
After:
Today, the kitchen has been utterly transformed, gutted to its core, and reborn with sleek cabinets and finishes. It's an epicurean's dream, open and inviting, where modernity dances with ease of function, and every meal is a celebration of this home's heart.
Chapter 8: The Basement – A Reinvented Foundation
Before:
The basement, dark and underutilized, was merely a forgotten storage space.
After:
We've breathed life into every corner, turning it into an additional sprawling living area that adds layers of functionality and flair to the home. This once-overlooked area is now an integral part of the Sumter experience.
Conclusion
The 3131 Sumter project stands as a shining example of what is possible when vision meets determination. We’ve taken a structure with strong bones and a storied past and propelled it into the present with elegance and sophistication. Happy remodeling!
