Turning a forgotten lower level into a livable retreat.
When most people think of luxury renovations, basements rarely top the list. But at The Home X, we believe every square foot of your home has potential — especially in neighborhoods like Newtown, PA, where value, space, and lifestyle intersect.
This recently completed basement remodel at 04 Stoneybrook Rd transformed a dark, unfinished level into a fully functional living area — bright, refined, and anything but “below grade.”
🔧 The Challenge
The original basement had:
- Low ceilings and poor lighting
- Outdated vinyl flooring
- Minimal insulation
- No built-in storage
The homeowners’ goals:
- Create a multi-use family lounge
- Add custom storage and display shelves
- Improve light, airiness, and comfort
- Match the quality of the upstairs living space
✨ The Transformation
✅ Open Layout
Walls were removed to create one cohesive space that supports media viewing, reading, play, and entertaining — without feeling compartmentalized.
✅ Custom Built-Ins
We designed painted built-in cabinetry with satin brass hardware, a white oak baseboard detail, and recessed LED strip lighting to create a refined yet cozy feature wall.
✅ Smart Lighting
Layered lighting design was key — with recessed LED cans, accent sconces, and under-shelf illumination to eliminate the “basement feel.”
✅ Durable Flooring
We installed luxury vinyl plank (LVP) in a warm white oak finish — both moisture-resistant and visually warm, helping the space feel elevated and livable.
