From Outdated to Outstanding: "Less 1980s" Pinehurst Remodel
A 1983 Pinehurst home completely reimagined for modern family living. The original closed-off floor plan had a fireplace dividing the living room, a walled-off kitchen, and a sunroom isolated from the main space. Working with our structural engineer, we opened up a 39-foot span to unify the kitchen, living area, and sunroom into one expansive great room. The kitchen was redesigned around a tight work triangle with a large island, peninsula seating, a breakfast nook, and a walk-in pantry converted from the old kitchen footprint. The primary suite received a vaulted ceiling, a spa-style bathroom with a grand dual-head shower, his-and-her vanities and closets, and a private water closet. A hall bathroom was gutted and reconfigured as a zero-entry Jack and Jill wet room for the clients' sons. Upstairs, we finished the unfinished attic by building two dormers, adding spray foam insulation, a dedicated HVAC zone, two bedrooms, a full bathroom, and extensive storage — turning a three-bedroom home into five bedrooms. Every structural modification was engineered to open the home up while maintaining its integrity for decades to come.

Living Room & Structural
A central fireplace divided the living room from the kitchen and sunroom. We engineered a 39-foot open span, removing load-bearing walls and installing a massive beam supported by new crawlspace footings.

Primary Bathroom
The original primary bath was trapped in 1983 — teal walls, black fixtures, and a cramped shower enclosure. We gutted it and built a spa-like retreat with a grand dual-head shower, statement chandelier, reeded vanity cabinetry with brass hardware, and a private water closet.
