Calling all split-level homeowners: This is your chance to renovate, remodel, and finally turn your split-level into the home of your dreams.
Perhaps you’re tired of feeling cramped in a limited living space, or maybe you’re looking to make a stunning first impression on visitors. Whatever your motivation, there’s so much that can be accomplished with a split-level remodel.
All you need is the right team for the job.
Keys to a Successful Split-Level Remodel
A split-level home is a common design with its own unique remodeling challenges. However, with the help of a custom contractor like VPC Builders, you can transform your split-level house into a modern, spacious, and functional home that suits your family perfectly.
There are a few excellent ways to go about this — and we’ve got the inside scoop. Here are five sure-fire ways to make your split-level remodel a total success:
Open Up the Living Space
First, let’s talk about improvements to the living space. It’s no secret that split-level homes can feel a bit divided and cramped, especially when shared by a growing family. One of the best things a custom builder can do for your split-level remodel is to open up your floor plan on one or both levels of the home.
Open floor plans are becoming increasingly popular due to the modern look and spacious, breathable atmosphere they provide. You can achieve this look for your split-level remodel by removing walls, adding support beams, installing new flooring, widening the windows, and more.
All of this will help to create a larger living area with an abundance of natural light and better flow from room to room. Say goodbye to that cramped feeling and hello to a more modern, spacious, and welcoming home!
Expand Your Entryway
Your entryway offers opportunities for an upgrade, too. The front door landing is a staple feature of split-level homes, executed with greater and lesser degrees of success. Though little time is spent there, it’s the first thing your visitors see when they step through the door, and it can set the tone for the rest of your home.
Why not make a great first impression by updating and expanding your entryway?
A split-level remodel is the perfect time to break the mold and explore new ground with your home — and it pays to have a custom builder involved. No matter the template your home was constructed from, a custom home builder can help you create a newer, more spacious entryway to set your home apart. That could mean bigger windows, wider floor space, or maybe even statement doors.
Whatever you decide, let the first glimpse of your home be welcoming, stylish, and functional.
Integrate the Outdoors
Split-level homes often come with small yards and the occasional back deck. That’s a good place to start, but you can do better.
There are all kinds of ways to incorporate an outdoor experience into your split-level home. Already have a deck? Consider sprucing things up with a screened-in sunroom, a modern patio, or perhaps an electric firepit where you and your family can enjoy summer nights.
With just a touch of creativity, your split-level remodel can result in an entirely new experience to complement your indoor living space. Ask your custom builder about ways to build a stylish and comfortable deck, patio, or outdoor kitchen to suit your lifestyle.
Imagine the perfect space for entertaining, relaxing, and enjoying the outdoors. Just like a good, hearty laugh, don’t keep all the good stuff on the inside.
Create a Master Suite
Let’s move on to the bedroom situation. Many split-level homes only offer one or two bedrooms, which can be limiting for growing families or homeowners who just want more space. Sometimes, you may have to sacrifice walking space for bed space, or vice versa. Luckily, a split-level remodel is your opportunity to go big.
An excellent way to improve your bedroom space — and add value to your home — is by crafting a beautiful master suite. If your bedroom space is limited, this might look like a complete addition to the floor. More space means more room for luxurious amenities: an attached full bathroom, a walk-in closet, and wide windows to really let the light in.
Ask your custom builder about ways to design your own private, personal retreat with a new master bedroom.
Elevate Your Kitchen
Last but not least, it’s time to give some love to the heart of your home: the kitchen. If your split-level has a small or outdated kitchen, a custom renovation can be your chance to create the modern, spacious, and functional culinary space you’ve been dreaming of.
There are all kinds of ways to elevate your kitchen. Maybe you need more counter space for meal prepping or need to knock out a wall for a custom bar. Perhaps cutting-edge appliances or brilliant new light fixtures are in your kitchen’s future.
Whatever your vision, your custom builder can help you design the perfect kitchen for your split-level remodel. This will create a beautiful and practical space that’ll add value to your home and make family dinners more enjoyable.
