Kitchen Remodeling in Brookside, DE

Brookside is 1970s suburbia done right — split-levels, colonials, and bi-levels in established neighborhoods with mature trees. The kitchens are original-era: long cabinet runs, dated oak, pass-through windows to the family room. These homes have space to work with, which makes layout upgrades and island additions realistic on almost every lot.

The Brookside pattern repeats street after street: a roomy U-shaped kitchen closed off from the family room by one wall. Remove or widen that opening, add an island with seating, and a ’70s floor plan suddenly lives like a new build — the single most-requested remodel in this zip.
