This basement transformation turned an unfinished lower level into a warm, elevated retreat designed for entertaining, relaxing, and making the most of lake life. The homeowners wanted to create additional living space that felt just as intentional and finished as the rest of their home — a comfortable hangout area where they could unwind, host friends, and enjoy weekends by the water with their small dog.
The finished basement blends thoughtful craftsmanship with custom details throughout. Cortec flooring runs throughout the space, paired with solid oak stair treads stained to match. Painted risers create a clean, cohesive transition from the upper level. The bathroom features marble flooring and a marble shower, bringing a polished, timeless look to the lower level.
One of the standout features of the project is the custom wet bar with green cabinetry, a zellige tile backsplash, floating shelves, solid surface countertops, a built-in convection microwave oven, an 18-inch dishwasher with custom panels, a paneled mini fridge, wine and liquor storage, and a sink.
