Feller Contracting recently completed a kitchen transformation in Richfield, MN that not only fulfilled the homeowner’s desires, but also added long term value to their property.
The clients originally wanted to expand their master bath and kitchen for more space. What began as a discussion about immediate needs evolved into a strategic plan to enhance the overall functionality and value of their home. We more than doubled the size of the kitchen, maintained the bedroom count, added a bathroom and were able to add over 200SF to the finished square footage.
In order to increase the size of their kitchen, we expanded the kitchen into an adjacent bedroom to double the size of the kitchen. To compensate for the lost bedroom, we added a bedroom in the basement, complete with egress window.
Renovating older homes comes with unique challenges, and this Richfield project was no exception.
In order to expand the kitchen for more entertaining space, we moved the kitchen sink to under the bedroom window. This window was lower than a standard kitchen window, and replacing it would have strained the budget. Feller Contracting found an innovative solution by selecting a unique countertop material. Slightly thinner than traditional quartz, it provided a sleek and budget-friendly alternative, seamlessly resolving the window dilemma.
We also had a small space between the living room and the kitchen that use to be the bedroom closet. To utilize this space effectively, we turned the old closet into a coffee bar and added an upper cabinet, turning a potential empty space into a unique feature.
The completed kitchen and basement renovation are already serving as a hub for entertaining and family gatherings. Thoughtful planning and execution turned this house into a potential forever home for the clients.
The Richfield kitchen renovation by Feller Contracting is a testament to the communication between client desires and innovative contractor solutions. By leveraging the untapped potential of the basement, overcoming challenges, and making strategic design choices, the project not only met immediate needs but also added lasting value to the homeowners' property. This renovation is a perfect example for those looking to blend functionality, aesthetics, and long-term investment in their home improvement projects.
