At Vermont Renovation & Remodeling, we take pride in turning old homes into functional, beautiful spaces that meet the needs of modern homeowners. Our latest project focused on a 1955 block house that came with its own set of challenges—but the end result is a stunning vacation retreat that blends history with comfort.
The Project Scope
This home was originally built as a simple block structure with stucco siding. The homeowners wanted to modernize the space while preserving its rustic, cabin-like charm. Our team tackled a full-scale renovation, making significant changes that improved functionality and aesthetics.
Key Upgrades:
✅ Structural Changes – We relocated load-bearing beams, moved staircases, and reconfigured windows and doors to create a more efficient layout.
✅ New Additions – A brand-new bathroom was added, along with all-new windows throughout the home for better insulation and natural light.
✅ Preserving Character – One of the standout features of the home is its original wood-paneled ceiling, which we maintained in its natural patina to preserve the cabin feel.
✅ Modern Touches – The existing wall paneling received a fresh paint job, blending the home’s rustic charm with a more contemporary look.
A Home Ready for Family & Friends
What was once a rough, outdated camp is now a warm, welcoming retreat for the homeowners and their guests. By maintaining key elements of the original home while upgrading its layout and design, we created a space that feels both cozy and functional—perfect for gatherings and getaways.
This project highlights our ability to work with unique home structures, problem-solve through construction challenges, and bring our clients’ visions to life.
