Sedgefield Custom Home in Charlotte Expands Mid-Build Without Missing a Beat

Midway through framing, the Sedgefield custom home in Charlotte took an unexpected yet exciting turn. The homeowners decided to add 550 additional square feet to their design—a significant change that KEEN Building Co. executed seamlessly. The team immediately re-engaged the architect and engineer, secured new approvals, and completed the expanded build within the original 12-month schedule.

“Halfway through framing this Sedgefield custom home in Charlotte, they decided they wanted to add another 500 square feet to the house. We were able to be reactive, immediately got the architect and engineer involved, had it re-drawn, and got the plans updated with the county—all while finishing within the same 12-month period.” — Alex Bailey, KEEN Building Co.

The finished home showcases the kind of craftsmanship and adaptability KEEN is known for. Multiple fireplaces and ceiling-mounted outdoor heaters create warmth inside and out, while an under-stair closet was transformed into a stunning half bath with a sink carved from a single block of Turkish marble. The kitchen features rich custom cabinetry and a hand-plastered hood crafted by a local artist, and the marble-clad primary bath includes body sprayers and rain heads that deliver a true spa experience.

Every closet was designed with built-in drawer systems handcrafted and finished on site, a second laundry room was added upstairs, and one bedroom was converted into a private home gym. When the project was complete, the owner’s appraisal came in over $1 million above the total land and construction cost—a powerful testament to the value of KEEN’s process, creativity, and precision.
