This basement renovation offered an enticing opportunity for this family with growing kids to maximize their living space and create functional areas that cater to evolving needs. Once used for storage, the kids now have a dedicated place to play and the parents have a lovely place to hang. In keeping with the integrity of the Brookline brownstone, we played up the gorgeous brick wall, and carried that theme into the newly created laundry room flooring. The laundry was moved from the first floor down to the basement, and matches the decor of the new bathroom to the right. There was dead space under the stairs, which created an opportunity to hide and keep toys organized. With thoughtful planning and design, this basement will grow alongside the family, providing versatile and adaptable spaces that accommodate changing lifestyles and preferences.
