Lower Level Residential Conversion in Glenside, PA
From Warehouse Space to Finished Living Suite
The upper floors of this Glenside, PA home were already fully finished and lived-in — but the lower level was another story entirely. Used for years as warehouse-style storage, the space was raw, utilitarian, and completely unfinished. The homeowner wanted to unlock that square footage and turn it into a proper living suite, and that's exactly what Haussmann Builders delivered.
The full renovation started from scratch: the entire lower level was reframed to create two private bedrooms and a dedicated living area, an existing powder room was converted into a full bathroom with a walk-in shower, and the old drop ceiling was removed and replaced with new drywall throughout.
New recessed lighting brought the space to life, luxury vinyl plank flooring was installed across the main areas, and a patterned star-tile entry adds a moment of personality right at the threshold.
The centerpiece of the finished space is a custom wet bar featuring dramatic black-and-white quartz countertops and brushed gold fixtures — a polished, functional addition that significantly elevates the space and adds real resale value.
Unlocking underutilized square footage is one of the smartest investments a homeowner can make — and Haussmann Builders has the experience to take a space from raw storage to finished living, handling every trade from framing to finish.
