SECOND STOREY ADDITION · BURLINGTON
A Burlington Family Who Needed to Stay. So They Grew Up Instead.
The Family
The owner is a Burlington realtor. He spends his working days walking other families through homes that function well, and he wanted his own to hold to that same standard. It wasn’t getting there. The kids were outgrowing the space, and there was nowhere in the house that felt set apart from everything else going on in it. Moving was the obvious answer. It wasn’t the right one. Not with the school down the street. Not with the neighbours they had known for a decade. Not in this market.
The Problem
The home was a well-loved single-storey in an established Burlington neighbourhood. What it needed was clear enough: more bedrooms, another bathroom, and a private upper level that could sit apart from the busy main floor. What it could not afford was a result that looked bolted onto the roof, on a house that doubles as its owner’s calling card.
What Marcon Did
One team managed every phase: structural assessment, permit applications with the City of Burlington, full roofline removal, second storey framing, new plumbing and electrical, two bedrooms and a full ensuite. The new level was built as its own quiet floor, separate from the day-to-day traffic below. The exterior was carefully matched to the existing home. From the street, it looks like it was always a two-storey.
The Result
- Two new bedrooms with built-in storage.
- A full ensuite plus a second-floor hallway bath.
- A private upper level, set apart from the busy main floor.
- Room for the kids to grow into rather than out of.
- Exterior matched to the original profile, so it reads as original rather than added on.
- All permits managed and approved by Marcon.
- Project completed on schedule and on budget.
