Hartland, Wisconsin Home Addition

Estimated Cost: $250,000 – $350,000

Year: 2023

Location: Hartland, WI

Updates Included: A seamless addition to a 1992 home, providing new kitchen and laundry spaces while also creating a multifunctional environment that accommodates cooking, laundry, work, and fitness.

Larger Kitchen with Increased Functionality — The original U-shaped kitchen created a divide that cramped the dining area and left dead space. We transformed this area by installing a large island for seating, eating, and serving, opening the space to create a casual seating area that fosters family gatherings. The kitchen remodel increased counter space for meal prep and cooking, allowing multiple people to work comfortably. The new layout improved traffic flow, eliminating congestion and creating a smoother path between cooking, dining, and living areas for better functionality.

Fireplace Replacement — The previous fireplace was unusable due to installation issues. The contractor removed it and replaced it with a beautiful new unit, enhanced by a stone surround and mantel, providing both functionality and aesthetic appeal.

Lower Level — The lower level felt cramped with a combined TV and workout area. By relocating the workout equipment to the new space under the addition, we created more room for the TV area. An egress window was also added to allow for a future bedroom conversion.

Lighting — Minimal lighting throughout the first floor posed a challenge. We addressed this by incorporating new recessed lighting in the addition, great room, and hallways, along with undercabinet lighting to enhance the ceramic tile backsplash and improve task lighting.

Flooring — New hardwood flooring was added to update the first-floor great room, foyer, and hall to match the new addition, creating a seamless flow between the old and new areas. In the mudroom, LVT flooring was chosen to coordinate with the hardwood, establishing visual continuity between open and closed spaces.
