Set in Bethesda, Md., this home started a story shorter and with less appeal than its more updated neighbors. Designed by Justin Wigfield of Potomac, Md.-based Glickman Design Build, this home renovation started with the goal to update and expand a Cape Cod-style home and maintain its quaint architecture.
According to Wigfield, one of the biggest challenges was designing the kitchen space. To solve the problem of a narrow footprint, the design team moved the entire kitchen to the other end of the home for an open feel.
Painted crème cabinetry pairs well with gray Caesarstone countertops for a timeless yet modern aesthetic.
The new island takes the place of a casual dining area with its bar seating.
An apron-front sink lies adjacent to the dishwasher and refrigerator for easy access.
The master bath boasts porcelain floors, porcelain tiling in the shower and off-white cabinetry.
A freestanding tub adds a touch of luxury to the simple space.
The Jack-and-Jill bath accommodates two teenage girls with a design that echoes the master bath.
