Check out this transformation of a Lakeville, MN, home our team at Country Creek Builders recently completed.
Our team at Country Creek Builders recently completed a beautiful home addition in Lakeville, MN, near Orchard Lake. This renovation was meticulously planned and executed, showcasing the transformative potential of a well-designed addition. We'll walk you through the step-by-step progress of this project, highlighting each phase from the initial demo to the stunning final touches. This tour will reveal how a 1,000-square-foot addition can dramatically enhance the functionality and aesthetics of a home.
This addition was far more than just adding square footage. It incorporated a master bedroom suite, a master bathroom, a mudroom, a pantry, and an extended kitchen and family room. The expanded family room and kitchen have breathed new life into the home, making it more spacious and accommodating for the family's lifestyle.
The exterior includes a completely maintenance-free deck, a popular feature for homeowners looking for easy upkeep. This deck provides the homeowners with a long-lasting, no-fuss outdoor space without needing frequent painting or staining.
A notable aspect of Country Creek Builders is that most of the work is completed in-house by their full-time team of skilled carpenters, tile setters, and painters. Unlike many contracting companies that outsource labor, Country Creek takes pride in having their employees handle the bulk of the work. They only bring in licensed subcontractors for specialized tasks like electrical, plumbing, and HVAC to ensure full compliance with local codes and insurance requirements.
Upon entering, you're greeted by a freshly remodeled foyer that seamlessly leads into the new kitchen. In this area, a wall was removed to create an open, spacious layout, allowing for a larger island and additional room around it—a design the homeowners had long desired. The kitchen features custom cabinetry with a stylish combination of stained lower cabinets and painted upper cabinets, creating a two-tone look that's both modern and elegant. The cabinetry includes bumped-out and bumped-up designs that add depth and visual interest.
Other highlights include:
The addition also included a multi-functional pantry that serves as both a storage space and a mini-home office. This area provides an organized space to store larger kitchen items and food and an office nook for meal planning and organizing family events. The room's mix of stained doors and painted trim ties in beautifully with the rest of the home's design, maintaining a cohesive look throughout.
The family room was extended, giving the homeowners a much larger area for family gatherings. One standout feature is the electric linear fireplace. This modern alternative to a traditional fireplace offers visual appeal without the heat output, making it possible to mount a TV directly above it at a comfortable viewing height. The fireplace is framed by custom cabinetry and white shiplap that complements the kitchen's upper cabinets, creating a seamless design flow from one room to the next.
The flooring throughout the main level is a wide plank luxury vinyl tile (LVT), chosen specifically for its durability and pet-friendliness. It's waterproof, scratch-resistant, and can withstand daily wear and tear—ideal for families with pets or children. The family room ceiling features recessed LED lights, providing energy-efficient, long-lasting illumination.
The mudroom, located at the back of the house, was designed with the family's pets in mind. It includes ample storage for pet supplies and durable, easy-to-clean flooring. The cabinets reach up to the ceiling with beautiful crown molding, adding storage and style.
The master suite is another highlight of this addition. This spacious room includes a transom window above the bed, allowing natural light without sacrificing privacy. The master closet is a dream come true with custom cabinetry, a central island, and plenty of storage for both him and her. A thoughtfully placed window allows natural light into the closet, creating a bright, welcoming space.
The master bathroom is equipped with dual vanities, a large shower with two benches and two showerheads, and ample storage. Custom features, such as the matching mirror frames and floating benches, create a polished, cohesive look. The shower includes recessed shelving, offering storage space for toiletries without sacrificing aesthetics.
Finally, the addition includes a long, maintenance-free deck with Trex decking and black Westbury railing. This deck is spacious enough to accommodate outdoor furniture and creates a seamless extension of the home's living space.
The team at Country Creek Builders has created a stunning, functional addition that perfectly suits the homeowners' needs. Every detail has been meticulously crafted, from custom cabinetry to pet-friendly flooring, making this project a true showcase of quality craftsmanship and thoughtful design.
