From House to Dream Home: A Full Transformation of a 4-Bedroom to a 6-Bedroom

At Hykal Homes, we specialize in transforming spaces that perfectly balance functionality and style, and this recent renovation project is a shining example. Tasked with transforming a dated 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom house into a stunning 6-bedroom, 6-bathroom dream home in less than 6 months, we embraced the challenge. By renovating the main living spaces and finishing the basement, we delivered a home designed to meet the growing needs of its owners while incorporating luxurious, modern touches.
Here’s how we turned a good house into an extraordinary one. The homeowners found us and reached out to us through our Instagram page. They were house hunting and have found the perfect location and the perfect size home but were afraid to move forward with the purchase because they knew that they would not be able to handle the renovation process on their own due to their lack of experience renovating (this was their first home) and also due to their busy schedules (they are both physicians). We are SO glad they found us! This project was a challenge in every way and we LOVED every minute of it!es.

Setting the Vision: Creating a Home That Grows With You

The homeowners loved their location but needed more space for their growing family and evolving lifestyle. Our mission was clear: expand the home’s footprint, transform the dated feel into a modern yet elegant beauty, enhance the functionality of every square foot, and add elements of luxury to elevate everyday living.

Transforming the Main Level

The first step was a full renovation of the existing structure. The 4-bedroom, 3-bathroom layout was functional but lacked the openness and flow the homeowners desired. Key Main Level Updates:

 Kitchen Revamp: For the new kitchen to be deserving of such a large home, we
needed to think outside the box. We re-imagined the kitchen completely and expanded
its footprint into unused existing space. With this, the kitchen became the heart of the
home, featuring:

o Luxurious double island with seating for 6
o Elegant waterfall feature
o Expansive Quartzite countertops.
o Custom cabinets with a mix of soft whites and warm wood tones.
o State-of-the-art stainless-steel appliances and a sleek full height quartzite
backsplash.

 Living and Dining Areas: We knocked down walls to create an open concept living and
dining space flooded with natural light. We removed the old roman columns with the help
of our trusted structural engineer and opened walls in the form of arches to mirror the
existing arched windows. This created a peek-a- boo effect into the kitchen without the
need to remove the existing fireplace.
 Updated Bedrooms and Bathrooms: Each bedroom was refreshed with luxury
hardwood flooring, new closets, and a serene, neutral color palette. Bathrooms received
custom tile work, frameless glass showers, and chic mirror and lighting features. We
provided design options for each bathroom and worked with our client to carefully select
each fixture to create curated spaces for each space. From guest bathroom to powder
room, to in-laws’ suites, each space was designed according to their future need, feel,
and look.

Expanding Up and Down

To accommodate the additional bedrooms and bathrooms, we turned our attention to the underutilized basement—a space bursting with potential.

Basement Renovation Highlights:

 Two New Bedrooms: Designed to be spacious and versatile, these bedrooms feature
large closets and oversized windows to let in natural light.
 Two Bathrooms: Styled with the same modern finishes as the main level, ensuring
continuity throughout the home.
 Home Gym: A dedicated fitness area with water-resistant flooring, mirrored walls, and
built-in shelving for equipment.
 Living and Entertainment Space: A cozy new living room with a sleek entertainment
bar featuring custom cabinetry, a wine fridge, and quartz countertops in an arched

4. Enhancing the Home’s Equity

From day 1, we worked with the homeowners to create a budget and design plan that would increase the value of their home from $1.2 to $1.6M. This was done carefully, in consideration with an appraiser and the bank, so our clients could request ONE loan that could include the purchase and renovation of their new home. This is such a smart idea to buy a property in the best location without having to move into an old, outdated house. By combining the two, the new homeowners were able to enjoy a new home feel while keeping ONE mortgage payment.

The Result: A Home Built for the Future

The final product is a breathtaking 6-bedroom, 6-bathroom home with spaces tailored for every aspect of the homeowners’ lives. Whether they’re hosting family gatherings, working out, or relaxing with loved ones in the new entertainment area, this home now offers endless possibilities. This is the beauty of working with an experienced full home renovation team that can plan and execute a plan for home flawlessly, on time, and on budget.
