Built in 1937, this beautiful Canterbury Road home in Raleigh has decades of history and timeless character. Like many older homes, however, it was ready for thoughtful updates that would improve its functionality while preserving the charm that makes it so special.

Our team at Copp Construct + Design had the opportunity to modernize several key living spaces, blending classic design with today’s conveniences. From a completely reimagined kitchen to a transformed porch and refreshed gathering spaces, every improvement was carefully planned to complement the home’s original architecture.

Take a look at the transformation below as you browse the before-and-after photos from each room.

A Bright, Functional Kitchen

The kitchen received a complete makeover designed to improve both style and everyday functionality. We installed beautiful new inset cabinetry that provides timeless appeal and exceptional craftsmanship. New countertops, a farmhouse sink, updated plumbing fixtures, modern lighting, and brand-new appliances completed the space, creating a kitchen that’s ready for family meals, entertaining, and daily life.

To tie everything together, we painted the ceilings, walls, and trim, giving the entire room a fresh, clean appearance.

A Fresh New Family Room

The family room was updated to create a warm and inviting gathering space. We redesigned the fireplace surround to make it a stunning focal point while adding new light fixtures that brighten the room and complement the home’s updated style.

Fresh paint on the walls and trim completed the transformation, making the space feel refreshed without losing its welcoming character.

A Refreshed Living Room

The living room received several thoughtful upgrades that dramatically changed its appearance while maintaining its timeless charm.

We refinished the existing hardwood floors to bring back their natural beauty, installed stylish new light fixtures, added elegant draperies, and painted the ceiling, walls, and trim. The result is a bright, comfortable room that’s ready for relaxing or entertaining guests.

Transforming the Glass Porch

One of the biggest changes in this project was the home’s old glass porch. The existing structure had become outdated and suffered from leaks, making it less enjoyable throughout the year.

Rather than simply repairing it, we transformed the space into a much more functional extension of the home. The original porch was removed down to the foundation, the floor height was raised to better connect with the home, and the room was rebuilt with all-new finishes. The result is a comfortable living space that the homeowners can enjoy in every season.
