A Luxurious Condominium Makeover in Bloomfield Hills, MI

Homeowner Need

Welcome to this spacious end unit ranch condo with stunning lake views visible from nearly every room. Built-in 1990, the original finishes beckoned for a complete head-to-toe renovation. The primary suite featured a cramped bathroom, an outdated kitchen with an eat-in nook, and a lack of design flair. Every detail, from doors to moldings, carried the mark of 30-year-old builder-grade and low-quality materials.

Our mission was clear: transform this space into a spa-like retreat that embraces the serene views, offering a perfect balance of relaxation and entertainment for our valued client.

Remodeling Solution

Every aspect of the condo layout was thoughtfully re-designed for optimal functionality. Starting with the laundry and kitchen, both areas underwent a transformation to maximize storage capacity and style. In the laundry room, a sleek Asko stackable washer and dryer were seamlessly integrated, creating space for a laundry sink and designated drying/folding area. The kitchen, benefiting from additional storage, now boasts expansive built-in pantries and practical bench seating for three.

A stunning transformation unfolded as the kitchen nook was eliminated, and the wall separating the dining room was taken down. To create a seamless look throughout the room, an exquisite beam structure was designed and custom-fit to complement the two-level ceiling in the kitchen. This structural addition paved the way for a complete redesign.

The kitchen now boasts a breathtaking waterfall quartz countertop surrounding a spacious seated island, perfectly complemented by a buffet area. Custom Plain and Fancy rift-cut white oak cabinetry in a Chapelwood glazed finish adorns the space, meticulously hand-finished for a flawless match. The addition of Subzero refrigeration, Cove dishwashing, and Wolf Cooking appliances elevates this kitchen to the ultimate chef’s haven.

A true highlight is the 3-sided glass refrigerated wine storage, a masterpiece featuring euro glass, locking doors, quartz flooring, a custom racking system, and a remote refrigeration system ingeniously mounted in the basement below.

Stepping into the foyer and great room, an impactful statement greets you the moment you enter through the front door. The awe-inspiring ceiling soars to nearly 20 feet, adorned with meticulously crafted coffered beams and intricate crown molding. The focal point is an exquisite floor-to-ceiling marble fireplace, beautifully centered and accentuated by built-in, individually lit shelving.

Adjacent to the great room, the cozy den has been thoughtfully opened up to enhance visibility and flow. From the den, you can easily access the 1st-floor hallway, leading to a completely transformed full bathroom and guest bedroom.

The newly revamped bathroom features a charming vanity room, boasting a meticulously handcrafted wood and metal vanity. Custom Chelsea Arts Tile wainscoting and grass cloth wallpaper add an elegant touch. The space is cleverly divided by classic 6-panel dark-stained barn doors, separating the toilet and shower area, creating a powder room effect that’s perfect for guests.

Further down the hallway awaits the spacious primary suite. Recognizing the need for more space, the decision was made to expand into the guest room, resulting in a larger, custom-built primary bath and closet.

The new primary bath is a sight to behold, featuring elegant natural walnut wall-hung cabinetry, open shelving, and a cozy bench seat. The highlight is the stunning feature wall adorned with cornflower blue Dahlia Sonoma Tile. The redesign allowed for the addition of a separate toilet and shower room, alongside a dedicated dressing area boasting exquisite handmade mirrored cabinetry for ample clothing storage.

For even more entertainment space, venture downstairs to the walk-out lower level, offering an additional 1500 square feet. The landing welcomes you with an inviting metal and wood banister, complemented by a tight-weave wool carpet leading to an open floor plan finished with Core-Tec flooring.

The newly designed basement bar exudes sophistication, boasting a black patina finish with a combination of quartz working countertop and an extra-thick oak bar top, adorned with brass railings. Ample shelving is provided by a sleek metal wall-hung unit for display purposes, while wood shelving nestles perfectly into a crevasse.

Adding to the ambiance is a stunning linear fireplace, elegantly finished with Peau de Baton French concrete tiles and a 10’ limestone hearth and mantle, offering the ideal space for an extra-large Smart TV above. The lower level is a true haven for major entertainment and relaxation.

Just off the family room, you’ll find a spacious guest en-suite. The newly remodeled bathroom boasts the only tub in the home, featuring a custom moveable glass panel for added convenience. Dark cabinetry, distressed brass fixtures, and a stunning walnut and Calacatta marble tile floor elevate the space’s elegance.

Lastly, the entire first floor exudes a welcoming, open ambiance, graced with the stunning Casabella Tuscany Oak Floor. Each light fixture was thoughtfully selected for its distinctive design and perfect placement. Soft, muted tones adorn the walls, adding the final touch to this home’s soothing and luxurious atmosphere.
