Built in the lavish Lakewood neighborhood of East Dallas near the peaceful White Rock Lake, this incredible, classic 1940’s home has undergone a comprehensive remodel. The remodel added about 1000 square feet to the house all told, with a completely redone master suite, a new living room space that doubles as a den, and a new kitchen and breakfast area.
But that wasn’t all: the accents of the house got a treatment as well. We added brand new windows to the entire house, refinished all the wood flooring, rewired the entire house, and repainted the interior and exterior to boot. Not a surface went untouched in this overhaul!
In addition to remodelling the interior of the home, we also built a first floor addition that extended the living room and added a fireplace. But our clients didn’t want to stop there! To accommodate this family’s needs, we built them a custom garage apartment on top of an entirely rebuilt garage.
Their words of praise have truly humbled us. Here are their thoughts:
“We have truly enjoyed working with English Heritage Homes of Texas as they helped us create a home we know we will cherish for a long time. EHHT has been very receptive to our questions and concerns and assisted us along the way by providing relevant insight during the decision-making process. We relied on their experience and felt comfortable working with them every step of the way.”
