Renovating From the Inside Out

Sometimes, a dream home is not the one that lasts forever – it is the home that allows homeowners to change with their needs, wants and even the rest of the neighborhood. Such was the case with this Calgary home, built in 1960 as a 1,300-square-foot bungalow with three bedrooms, but that was taken to a new level by Channel Custom Builders. The company revamped the space to create a 2,100-square-foot home, complete with a basement apartment for older children or house guests, a workout room and a full lounge area. A luxury kitchen befits a couple with a bit more time on their hands, as does the spa-like bathroom that is the epitome of tranquility.

Splendor in the Kitchen
This grand yet comfortable late 1990s house located in a sprawling neighborhood near The Forum in Duluth is a family home with growing young boys. The finishes became dated the last few years and the kitchen was no longer efficient. In fact, this family had outgrown the original kitchen and greatly needed additional room and storage.
