Step inside, and the transformation is undeniable. Meadowlark reimagined this dated Ann Arbor ranch into a vibrant, distinctive home that reflects its owner’s style with a whole-home remodel. Rich color combinations nod to mid-century modern design, while thoughtful reconfiguration of the layout ensures the home works beautifully for today’s lifestyle. Walls came down to open the floor plan, creating a seamless connection between the kitchen and living room—perfect for gatherings. What was once a small, closed-off dining room was incorporated into the kitchen, creating a larger, more functional space that reflects how we live today—open, connected, and centered around cooking and gathering.
The original three bedrooms became two, allowing for a spacious primary suite complete with a walk-in closet and en-suite bath. A new powder room provides convenience for guests, and the kitchen now boasts expansive countertops, smart storage, and a cook-friendly layout.
Outside, the home improvement updates are just as transformative as the interiors. A new, larger front porch immediately welcomes visitors, creating a sense of openness and approachability while also providing a practical space for relaxing or entertaining. The exterior’s deep turquoise finish replaces the dated dark brown brick of the 1950s, giving the home a bold, distinctive presence that reflects the owner’s personality and complements the mid-century modern-inspired design inside.
New Marvin windows enhance the curb appeal with sleek, contemporary lines while delivering significant energy efficiency. Gone are the drafty, outdated windows; the home is now quieter, more secure, and fully climate-controlled, providing comfort year-round. Behind the scenes, all-new mechanical systems ensure the home is as reliable as it is beautiful, ready for decades of use without compromise.
Together, the thoughtful color palette, high-performing windows, and functional upgrades create an exterior that balances aesthetics and durability. The home now exudes confidence, character, and a sense of care—proof that every detail, from design to performance, was thoughtfully considered.
