Basement Remodel Project: Transforming an Eagan basement into a one-of-a-kind getaway

If you realize that you want more space that’s customized to fit your lifestyle, a basement remodel may be the perfect option for you. Learn how Country Creek Builders can help!

Turning your basement into a one-of-a-kind space designed and built for your family’s unique lifestyle can have a big impact on your home’s value and on your everyday quality of life.

Whether your existing basement is unfinished or simply outdated in terms of space, style, or layout, a basement remodel can go a long way toward turning a previously unused level of your home into a stylish and welcoming getaway.

This was certainly the case for Ben and Danielle Walker, who worked with Country Creek Builders to transform the basement of their Eagan, MN, home into a cozy, modernized living space for both adults and children.

Here is a closer look at the custom elements Country Creek Builders designed and implemented into Ben and Danielle’s new, breathtaking basement – and how we can do the same for you.

The Family Room: Home theater meets play area

Ben and Danielle knew they wanted a basement that would allow them to escape and entertain, but they also knew it had to accommodate their young children, as well.

The solution was a custom home theater area with space for an 80” TV, ambient LED lighting, a linear fireplace, and more – all just a few steps away from an under-stair playroom that featured an arched doorway and servicing window.

We also opened up the walls at the bottom of the stairs and added railings to offer a more airy and inviting feel.

The Wet Bar: An adult-friendly nook

To meet their specific desires for entertaining friends, Ben and Danielle also wanted a basement bar area included in the project, opposite the stairs from the home theater.

The bar included a TV of its own in the upper cabinets, along with adjacent wine storage and an under-cabinet fridge. Ample room to move and the addition of stools, a drink ledge, and a putting green primed the space for the couple’s next get-together.

Wet Bar Features:

  • TV in upper cabinets with adjacent wine storage
  • Under-cabinet fridge
  • Chevron White splash tile
  • Grey Limed Oak tile flooring
  • Arctic Blast quartz bar countertops
  • Arctic Blast wall (making this a perfect area for bar stools and a drink ledge)!

The Bathroom: A natural, optimized layout

The existing basement bathroom had a less-than-ideal layout, which made usability and comfort an issue.

As a solution, we began the basement bathroom remodel by jackhammering existing concrete to gain access to relocate the toilet, shower, and vanity drains, creating more space and a more naturally flowing feel. The completion of the shower, vanity, and flooring made the space clean and comfortable for the couple, their kids, and their guests.
