5454 WEST WARWCK - SUNDAY OPEN HOUSE

 

living room / kitchen / dining room

Our latest renovation project in Portage Park is a design forward mix of modern architecture and functional space.   An adaptable open floor plan with twenty-eight new windows and southern exposure have provided a bright layout throughout each level.   The living room, kitchen, dining area and family room flow together while still providing separate areas for different functions. 
 

family room with fireplace and built-in shelving

The new family room has a linear, gas fireplace with built-in shelving and re-claimed wood accents.  Four windows and a glass door leading to the new open deck create an indoor -outdoor feel for this room.  Natural bamboo flooring and weathered gray tile add warmth to the clean layout.  An old basement wood timber is used for the fireplace mantle.
 

kitchen with breakfast bar

The open kitchen contains a mix of maple base cabinets, glass wall cabinets, open shelving and white subway tile.  Stainless appliances, Corian countertops and a back counter of butcher block will work well for the home chef.  The peninsula island / breakfast bar with pendant lighting adds additional seating. 
 

dining area and kitchen

 

master bedroom suite

The master bedroom suite has a volume ceiling with large windows.  A bed wall of re-claimed wood was salvaged from the house during the renovation.   Built-in shelving create additional areas of display.  Two bedroom closets provided storage.  A master bathroom with separate shower complete the suite.

This house has undergone quite a transformation from the original structure and we are very pleased with the finished product of both the interior and exterior space.

The renovation project is in its final stages of completion and coming together very well.   A few siding and trim items need to be completed to finish up the exterior.  We used a light and dark gray color scheme with white soffits and fascia to create contrast.  The south and east facing double hung windows create a light filled first floor



wood panelled bed wall

We again used reclaimed wood from the house to create a master bedroom panelled bed wall. Additional built-in on the sides provide more storage options.  The cathedral type ceiling in the master bedroom and some tall double-hung windows help to create a  spacious, light-filled volume. 

The open kitchen has maple base cabinets, glass wall cabinets, open shelving, white subway tile with stainless appliances and brushed chrome hardware.  White corian countertops will be installed for two of the counter tops and a stained butcher block counter will be used along the west kitchen wall.  

 We have a few days left of finishing, staging and cleaning the house.  Then we'll do the staging and photographs.  5454 West Warwick should be listed on the MLS in a week or two. 

Please pass this along to anyone who might be looking for a completely renovated 3 bedroom / 3 1/2 bath house in the hot Portage Park neighborhood..... more to come.
