Construction Diaries: Sara + Mike – Vol. III

A “selfie tour” unveils the new look for their 1929 house

First-time homeowners Sara and Mike have big plans for their Tudor in Bronxville, NY. We asked them to show us around. To tackle the renovation, the couple posted their project on Sweeten, a free service matching renovators with vetted general contractors, and chose a design-build firm.

In the final two episodes,  we see how a formal Tudor transforms into a modern home inside. A kitchen has an open concept and is flanked by a baker’s pantry, mudroom, and powder room, while the gutted bathrooms upstairs reveal a fresh new look.

In case you missed it, click to see the “before” and “during” walkthroughs in Vol I and Vol II videos. For more, read Sara and Mike’s full renovation journey in their blog post.
