The Brooks House. Margaret and Michael Brooks purchased this house in 1995 and lived here for 24 years. Michael Brooks was a prominent physician in Laurel, and the house is expansive and stately — albeit just a bit dated in appearance. Built in 1982, it''s 5900 square feet and comes with six bedrooms, 4 baths, an impressive front door and front courtyard. It listed for $345,000.

Erin and Ben's redesign made relatively moderate alterations to the home's exterior profile, with the main modification being replacement of the metal roof above the front door with a new front balcony, accessible via the upstairs master bedroom. The general vibe of the exterior is brightened up with a few details like new gas lanterns flanking the front door, and pale blue paint for the existing shutters — offering a visual preview the newly refreshed spaces to be revealed inside.
