THE CHEVY CHASE ATTIC
Passed from one generation to the next, this 1940’s home in Montclair had a complete renovation in the 90’s with the exception of the 3rd floor. The 500 square foot unconditioned attic was paneled and had a drop down ceiling, limited storage, and no bathroom — hard to believe it was once a 3rd floor bedroom for two young men! The original wood beams, once hidden by ceiling tiles, were exposed and beautifully re-crafted with lighting to allow the space to open up and create a much brighter room. The new half bath includes a custom vanity, a charming mirror, fun lighting, and luxury vinyl plank flooring. Stylish textured carpet throughout the rest of the attic and a window seat add comfort to the space. Original windows were replaced and plenty of closet storage was added. Once an attic that was mostly abandoned, it is now one of our clients’ favorite rooms to enjoy.
