Idea Home: At first look, the house didn't exactly sell itself -- 107 years old, 2,000 usable square feet (divided into two apartments), an unfinished basement and a tiny city lot. But Midwest Living®, and our young urban professional homeowners, saw a chance to create a greener, better-than-the-original, family home. The following slides show how we transformed this home's existing footprint into 2,900 usable square feet with four bedrooms, three and a half baths and a large, standout kitchen.
