As it often is with smaller story and a-half Minneapolis homes, large multi-use space is hard to come by. But that\u2019s exactly what this high-intensity career couple wanted and got in this extensive basement remodel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think they had wanted to do something for many, many years, but the timing was never quite right,\u201d recalls Strandpark Properties. design\/build consultant Nadia Glynn. \u201cFor most people, the basement is where all the junk goes that you don\u2019t want to look at, so it\u2019s a challenge to see that space for what it could be.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The plan called for upgrading the laundry\/mechanical area, creating a luxury bath, a coffee bar, and a large multi-function area for exercise and TV entertainment. \u201cThe running joke on the enormous TV was that they\u2019ll be able to keep their summer tans from the glow,\u201d Glynn recalled and added, “If you think their TV is big you should see their shower!”<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEvery remodel needs to achieve a higher goal\u2014something that makes all the effort personally worthwhile. For them it was creating this retreat where they could both spend their time recharging and relaxing\u2014whether that\u2019s watching sports, yoga or freshly ground Jamaican Blue Mountain dark roast.<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
