Remodeled 1950s Split-Level Home in Runnemede, NJ

Ideal Remodeling, recently had the pleasure of working on a charming 1950s split-level home in Runnemede, New Jersey. This project involved both aesthetic upgrades and functional enhancements that truly transformed the space.
Main Bathroom Upgrades
We began by updating the main bathroom upstairs. We opened up the space by removing a small hallway closet and incorporating that area into the bathroom. We installed custom cabinetry, blending modern design with functionality to meet the homeowners’ needs.
Opening Up the Lower Level
One of the most exciting changes was removing the wall between the garage and the living area to create a spacious, open-concept space. To ensure structural integrity, we installed a steel I-beam. This change was crucial because the clients needed more space, allowing them to have a whole lower level that’s now fully usable for entertainment. The lower level now features a comfortable living room and a larger dining area that was previously impossible to fit in the house. We leveled the floor with self-leveling compound to ensure it was perfectly even before installing LVP flooring, adding both durability and style.
Patio and Pool Access
We added a sliding Anderson patio door leading to the existing patio area, which provides easy access to the pool and enhances indoor-outdoor living.
Powder Room and Laundry Room Upgrades
To add convenience, we included a powder room on the lower level. Additionally, we transformed the existing laundry area into a more functional and formal space, ensuring it met the homeowners’ needs.
This remodel has truly revitalized this mid-century home, providing modern amenities while preserving its original charm.
