What We Love: This renovated home boasts a spacious layout with exquisite details and beautifully reclaimed wood that is simply divine. The builders maximized the windows to make the property feel much more visually spacious than it actually is. We are especially loving the details in the master bedroom, with the laminate feature wall and faux fireplace. There are plenty of fantastic ideas in this home to get inspired!
