I felt like it embraced the original style of the home whilst making it modern. I love the dark colours - especially the dark wood. Very soothing and I like how the lines inside - such as the elevated counter in the bathroom - mimic the lines outside. Gorgeous. Love the remodel.

But, I love the combination of materials on the exterior (the ashy colored brick complimented by semi-dark wood). Also, I'm a huge fan of renovation rather than starting from scratch, so props!

But who's the warden who designed the shower? I want to live with roommates, not inmates! Beautiful remodel; holds the existing MCM lines very well.

Trust me, it's not that hard to do, you just got to make sure you don't get taken by the contractors. I work in the architectural industry, renovations are far less expensive then people believe, only cause they let themselves be had and fooled into thinking that good taste is expensive. This price tag is INSANELY high for no good reason other then the coverage it's getting online these days. Even that is far from a good reason to be asking $699,000 Worth it? you’d pay nearly double the going rate of the neighbourhood? that’s insane, even if you planned on being there for 30 years that’s too much. might as well buy something and renovate your own project into something as nice, if not nicer, for far less then this asking price.

Although the lighting isn't great in these photos it is clearly too dark. I think the house has a defined theme but it is too dark all around. It seems to be a strong attempt to build a DWR inspired home. I’m not always a big fan of walnut and a dark countertop. Although the lighting isn’t great in these photos it is clearly too dark.

I think most people would have just torn it down, but this looks great and was probably less wasteful.
