Entire House Over $600,001

When the homeowners approached Yonkman Construction, Inc., to update their entire home, 

they wanted them to address everything from the:

• uninviting muted front entrance

• weather-torn decks, and 

• dated stone wall to 

• the closed-off kitchen and living room. 

The enclosed staircase and the awkwardly placed three-sided pier-brick fireplace separated the kitchen and living room, 

creating a closed-off, congested area.

Working with designer Janet Lucek of Janet Lucek Interior Design, the Yonkman team transformed the home inside and out. 

The team raised the sunken living room floor flush with the kitchen 

and installed wood-topped custom metal railings to update the entryway and create a more open and contemporary space.  

They added professional-grade appliances to the kitchen. 

They then built a large central island, 

Creating an eating space large enough to seat the entire family while also functioning as a work and prep space for cooking. 

The craftsmanship and custom cabinetry flow seamlessly into the adjacent dining room and butler's pantry.  

In the end, this design was exactly what the homeowners wanted…

With abundant natural light and an open-concept floor plan. 

The minimalist color palette of warm wood tones, soft whites, and charcoal blacks creates a warm and inviting atmosphere inside and out.
