Medina Timeless Lower Level

Basements

About This Project

The Homeowner's Challenge

The homeowners wanted to transform their unfinished basement into a versatile extension of their home that could accommodate entertaining, relaxing, overnight guests, and everyday family activities. Their goal was to create a sophisticated lower level complete with a custom bar, comfortable gathering spaces, a guest bedroom, exercise room, and full bathroom, while incorporating classic finishes that would remain stylish for years to come. 

Hurst's Approach

Hurst Design Build Remodel designed a lower level that balances functionality with classic design. The finished basement features an inviting recreation room anchored by a custom wet bar, dedicated spaces for fitness and overnight guests, and a spacious full bathroom. Rich cabinetry, natural stone countertops, detailed millwork, and durable porcelain tile create a cohesive design that feels like a natural extension of the main living areas.
