Whole Home Remodel on Lake Dubay

A refined, full-home transformation designed for lakeside living with elevated finishes and thoughtful craftsmanship.

Lake Dubay Remodel: A Wisconsin Lake House Transformed

When the location is perfect, but the house no longer fits your life, a thoughtful remodel can change everything. This Lake Dubay remodel is a prime example of how Ross Construction helped a homeowner fall back in love with her space without adding on or changing the home’s footprint.

This Wisconsin home remodel spanned nearly 7,000 square feet and reimagined the entire interior with a transitional design remodel that blends timeless elegance with modern functionality. The result is a refined, open, and inviting lake house designed for everyday living and effortless entertaining.

 

Turning a Dated Layout Into an Open Retreat

The primary goal of this high-end home remodel was to revitalize a closed-off floor plan and transform it into a space for genuine relaxation. By removing interior walls and installing concealed structural beams, we created a bright, open layout that maximizes natural light and lake views while maintaining the integrity of the existing structure.

The home centered on an open-concept kitchen remodel, reconfigured to better suit the homeowner’s lifestyle. The kitchen was relocated and redesigned to include a spacious Butler’s pantry, offering both beauty and behind-the-scenes functionality. This new layout supports entertaining, organization, and day-to-day ease without compromising style.

Interior Highlights That Elevate Everyday Living

This lake house open-concept remodel includes standout spaces on every level of the home:

  • A reimagined kitchen with quartz countertops, Kohler fixtures, and European white oak flooring throughout
  • A fully redesigned mudroom with enhanced storage and flow
  • A luxurious primary suite featuring a marble tile shower, Kohler plumbing fixtures, and spa-like finishes
  • A custom walk-in closet with built-ins that showcase custom closet cabinetry ideas tailored to the homeowner
  • A lower-level transformation with a basement wet bar and dedicated home gym, creating space for both entertaining and wellness

Every finish was selected with longevity and refinement in mind, from the large linear gas fireplace anchoring the main living area to the Azek deck remodel that enhances the home’s outdoor living connection to Lake Dubay.

 

Materials and Finishes Designed to Last

This project features a curated mix of premium materials that support both durability and timeless appeal:

  • Kohler plumbing fixtures throughout, including a Kohler fixtures bathroom remodel
  • Marble tile in the primary bathroom shower
  • European light/white oak flooring for warmth and continuity
  • Quartz countertops for performance and elegance
  • Custom cabinetry across the kitchen, pantry, closets, and wet bar
  • Azek decking for low-maintenance outdoor living
  • A large linear gas fireplace as a focal point in the main living space

Clear expectations make for better remodels.

That’s why we encourage homeowners to understand pricing early in the process. Our Ross Construction Cost Guide outlines common cost ranges and decision points for kitchens, baths, basements, and whole-home remodels, so there are fewer surprises and more informed decisions.

Navigating the Design Process

Because this was a full-scale remodel with major layout changes, close collaboration during all phases of the process was essential. Reconfiguring the kitchen and opening up the main living areas required detailed planning and clear visualization to ensure every decision supported the homeowner’s goals. Along the way, a few elements were refined and adjusted as the design evolved. By staying flexible, communicative, and focused on the end result, we were able to fine-tune the details and deliver a finished home that the homeowner was genuinely excited about.

 

A Remodel Worth Celebrating

This Lake Dubay remodel was proudly featured in the Wisconsin Parade of Homes remodel showcase as part of the WABA 2023 Spring Parade of Homes, recognizing both the design vision and the craftsmanship behind the transformation.

By working within the home’s existing footprint and window placement, Ross Construction proved that even without additions, a full-scale remodel can completely redefine how a home looks, feels, and functions.
