Every once in a while, a feature of a home just stops you in your tracks. In the Franklin II, it's the lower level.
Most people expect a finished basement to be an afterthought — nice carpet, recessed lights, call it a day. This one is anything but. The entertainment space features ornate black-and-gold pressed tin ceiling tiles, full-height dark cabinetry, a custom wet bar with an antiqued mirror tile backsplash, beverage refrigerator, and brass fixtures that feel more speakeasy than suburban. Board-and-batten wainscoting wraps the room in a deep gray tone with a natural wood rail. Built-in shelving flanks the wet bar on both sides.
Then the adjacent game room opens up wide — carpet, crown molding, a tray ceiling — with direct access to the lower-level patio through French doors.
We love building the spaces people expect. We love even more building the spaces they never saw coming.
