Classic homes in Huntingdon Valley often have strong charm—but kitchens can feel segmented, dim, and storage-starved. The goal isn’t to erase the home’s style. It’s to improve daily function while staying true to the architecture.
The 3 upgrades that deliver the biggest daily payoff
- Flow: fix choke points and awkward appliance placement
- Storage: reduce countertop clutter with better cabinet design
- Lighting: task zones + warm ambient light for comfort
Avoid overbuilding
