A Vacation Home’s Full Kitchen Rehabilitation and Creating Two Ensuite Baths

When the owners purchased this 5-acre property, they inherited a two-bedroom, one-bath structure that had been ignored for many years. Their plan was to improve it in anticipation of eventually using it for themselves, friends, and family – and as a source of income via short-term rentals. TCP figured out a way to create an additional bathroom ensuring each bedroom had its own ensuite. The original layout of the kitchen was very small with an under-utilized and unneeded pantry. This space became the primary bathroom while still allowing plenty of space to expand the kitchen. We enlarged the opening to the original kitchen, added a large kitchen island, and removed a dividing wall which created a great room fully open to the kitchen island area.

Gut Remodel – Creating Two Ensuite Baths

The original floor plan included a single bath shared by the two bedrooms and any guests.  TCP envisioned a serene retreat with a second bath so both the primary and the secondary could have an ensuite bath arrangement.  We stole space from an under-utilized pantry and added it to the primary suite.  This enabled us to give the primary/guest bath to the secondary bedroom for added privacy.  The original bathroom hadn’t been touched since the home was built and was in need of a total gut rehabilitation.  The bathroom went from dreary– to bright, fresh and high functioning.

Included in this remodel:

  • Gutted the dilapidated kitchen, opening the walls to widen the kitchen area
  • Placed a kitchen island just outside the former kitchen for additional prep space
  • Removed a dividing wall to join the kitchen island area with living area creating a great room
  • Replaced all the flooring throughout to lighten and brighten the home
  • Added new appliances, cabinets, lighting and seating at the island
  • Replaced the entry door with https://www.milgard.com sliding doors, as well as great room windows
  • Rebuilt the deck, designed a covering and added a fan to keep things cool and shaded
  • High-end tile for floor and walls
  • Double sink vanities with excellent storage
  • Large walk-in showers with bench seating
  • Strategically placed robe and towel hooks
