Milton Split-Level Home Renovation

Three broad oak steps lead into this Milton home’s sunken living room, where a slatted divider lets light through and a low fireplace sits in the original brick wall.

Home Renovation

This Milton main-floor renovation keeps the home’s split-level layout and updates the transition between the dining room and sunken living room. A vertical oak screen replaces the turned-spindle railing, giving the stairs a cleaner edge while keeping a view between the two rooms. Oak plank flooring and matching stair treads connect the levels. The original buff brick wall gets a slim electric fireplace and a low oak ledge, while the three-pane picture window remains the focal point at the far end of the room.

Visible Project Scope

  • Replaced the turned-spindle railing with a vertical oak screen.
  • Refinished the three carpeted steps with oak treads.
  • Installed matching oak plank flooring across both levels.
  • Updated the fireplace with a linear electric insert and low oak ledge.
  • Replaced the dining light with a paper globe pendant.

Planning and Workmanship

Every renovation starts with the existing conditions at the property. Measurements, material compatibility, access, plumbing, electrical work, ventilation, structure, permits, and the construction sequence are reviewed before the final scope is confirmed.
