Phase II Completes The Transformation of Peter Pan

From the moment we began, this project was about more than just a renovation — it was a full reimagination of what a single-story home in this coveted pocket of the neighborhood could be. What started as a modest 1,700 sq ft house on an exceptional, treed lot has become a spacious, light-filled 3,900 sq ft residence that feels custom-built for modern living while preserving the character and privacy that makes this area so special.

Key Highlights of the Finished Home:

3,900 sq ft total (original 1,700 sf foundation + 2,200 sf thoughtful addition)
4 bedrooms, 4 full baths + 1 half bath
2 living areas + private study
Oversized attached 2-car garage
All new plumbing, sewer lines, electrical, and 9’ ceilings throughout
Spectacular treed lot — just under ½ acre

Many of you followed the journey as walls came down, additions went up, and every system was brought to today’s standards. The finished product exceeds expectations — delivering the perfect balance of expansive, functional space and warm, inviting character.

Scroll through the gallery below to see the dramatic Before & After transformation. From the expanded footprint and reconfigured layout to the elevated finishes and seamless flow, this home has been completely transformed.

Phase II Remodeling Project - August 2024

After having their house on the market for 4 months with no strong interest, the owners of this Preston Hollow home contracted with Diane Wright / Phase II to remodel the home for resale.

Within 45 days of putting the remodeled home back on the market, the owners received two offers close to full asking price. Best of all, after all remodeling expenses, the homeowners increased their expected profit by over $150,000.

The scope of the remodel included all design work, floorplan, material selection, windows, doors, kitchen, master bath, hardwoods in main living areas, updated bathrooms, all new paint and trim throughout interior, and exterior updates.

All work was completed within budget and the home was back on the market within 5 months.
