Starting from the
time the property’s
trees were used in
the construction of
the original home
80 years ago and
continuing through
a 4,500-square-foot addition in the 1990s
as well as a recent main-level remodeling,
this Tudor-style home on the main canal of
Oswego Lake is constantly evolving.
The homeowners and remodelers —
John and Sandy Hendricks with Ovation
Design-Build — spend their workdays
altering other family’s homes, but
remodeling their own home earlier this year
was just as rewarding. The project added
highlights to the home’s architectural
features, while enhancing its materials.       
Six-foot interior/exterior doors were
replaced by eight-foot solid mahogany
doors. This added height accentuates the
vaulted ceiling in the entryway, the 10-foot
ceilings and the arch details framing the
dining room. The marble floor that ties 80
percent of the lower floor together remains,
while hand-scraped hardwood floors
replaced carpet in the family room. 
For convenience and aesthetics, a wood
stove was replaced by a large, built-in gas
fireplace with a steel-forged front and
limestone surround.
In the kitchen, quartz slabs supplanted
the previous white porcelain countertop
tiles. A copper apron sink and new
faucet were added. Rich cherry-toned
cabinetry was incorporated and made to
look like furniture. The island now
sports painted white cabinetry
with artistic distressing, and a
professional gas cooktop.
“This helps define the space,
and adds intrigue and drama,”
Sandy Hendricks said.  
A powder bathroom also
was made complete on the
main floor.
“I always wanted to have
a shower downstairs,”
Sandy said of the new
tiled shower with marble
details. Included is a
handheld showerhead for
the couple’s two Westies
— Gizmo and Jazmine.
For the Hendricks family, sharing
their newly remodeled main floor and
craftsmanship is a special occasion and
showcases their passions and how Ovation
Design-Build can upgrade a space on a
budget.
