Mid Century Modern Renovation

Mid-Century Modern homes seem to be all the rage these days.  With shows such as ‘Mad Men’ renewing interest in this period, Mid-Century Modern (MCM) homes have found renewed interest. As the name implies, MCMs were typically built in the middle of the 20th century.  An accepted date range is from 1945 to 1965, although […]

Historic Home Addition in Davidson

The best compliment about an addition to an existing home is “it looks like it’s been there all along.”  We recently added on to a 1920s home in downtown Davidson, and I think it’s safe to say ‘it looks like it’s been there all along.’ A good architect is always a necessary and first step […]

Updating Davidson’s History

What does John Marshall Custom […]

227 South Thompson

We transformed a drab 1940s ranch home into one of Davidson’s classic homes.  The house was completely updated both inside and out, and a second story and detached garage apartment were added.  In spite of nearly doubling the living area of the home, the house blends in nicely with the surrounding neighborhood thanks to an […]

Country Club Lane Renovation

This renovation began with a house on a great Lake Norman lot, but basically no view of the lake.  Enter John Marshall Custom Homes and architect Michael Neff.  We added a new family room on the rear of the house, together with a master suite and outdoor living area.  The kitchen was relocated and completely […]

504 Walnut Street

This charming home is located in downtown Davidson.  Originally built in 1937, we completely renovated the home and also added a new  family room, eating area and master suite.  Includes many accessibility features.  The excellent design and varying exterior finishes results in a home that fits perfectly into the existing neighborhood.[imagebrowser id=14]
