Whole-Home Renovation in Highland Park
This whole-home renovation in Highland Park, Dallas transformed an existing two-story brick residence on Belclaire Avenue into a fully reimagined luxury home, extended with a new covered veranda. Designed by Brant McFarlain Design and built by Renowned Group, the whole-home renovation reworked every room across both floors and reframed the original structure from the inside out to open up the main living spaces while preserving the home’s traditional character.
The heart of this whole-home renovation in Highland Park is a custom kitchen featuring white-oak cabinetry, White Fusion stone counters, and a full-height Clé Guild Brick tile wall. A Wolf dual-fuel range sits beneath a Vent-A-Hood, paired with Sub-Zero refrigeration and a Waterworks faucet over a fireclay farmhouse sink. Adjoining spaces include a white-oak wine bar topped in Pietra Grey marble with a full-height antique-mirror back wall, and a leather-fronted wet bar finished in Silver Wave marble.
Living spaces throughout this whole-home renovation are defined by craftsmanship. The living room centers on a wood-burning Isokern fireplace framed in honed Cicala Quartzite, while a private lounge is wrapped floor-to-ceiling in figured walnut paneling. New steel beams opened the family room into a larger, connected space. A dedicated home office, a powder room with a Quattro Stagioni marble vanity, and a guest bath in Cappuccino limestone and Volakas dolomite round out the main floor. Across both levels, walls are hand-plastered in Farrow & Ball Wevet and floors are refinished in a signature bleached-and-fumed white-oak tone.
Upstairs, the primary suite features a fireplace framed in honed Lilac marble, complemented by a salon wrapped in Casamance wallcovering. Bespoke detailing continues into the pantry, mudroom, and laundry room — each finished with custom millwork, natural stone, and Waterworks fittings. Every space in this whole-home renovation in Highland Park was treated with the same level of care.
Outdoors, a new covered veranda extends the home with a new foundation, framing, roofing, and a standing-seam steel awning designed to match the original architecture. The most demanding aspect of this whole-home renovation in Highland Park, Dallas was structural: the existing house was reframed with new steel and reinforced floor beams engineered by Jensen Engineers while the original structure stayed standing — inspected in stages and permitted through the Town of Highland Park. The result is a complete, ground-up rebuild of a home’s interior that reads as effortless and timeless.
