Basement Finish — Modern Custom Home in Linden Hills
Overview
These homeowners built a stunning modern custom home in Linden Hills just a few years earlier, leaving the basement unfinished, as is common in new construction.
When they were ready to expand into this space, the goal was clear: create a fully finished basement that blended seamlessly with the existing home. That meant matching a high level of craftsmanship, modern finishes, and custom millwork so the new lower level felt like it had always been part of the original design..
