Primary Bathroom Remodel in Boxford, MA

The old primary bath worked, but it lacked the comfort, storage and sense of luxury the homeowners wanted. For years they had pictured it as a private retreat, somewhere to relax at the end of a busy day, and they wanted the remodel to add lasting value to the house as well.

The homeowners wanted a company that would take the time to understand what they had in mind before building it. After meeting with Norman Builders and talking through their goals, they hired us, and through construction we worked with them to coordinate selections and refine details, from tile layout and trim to cabinetry and fixture placement.

The design aims to look current now and still look right years from now: soft neutral colors, warm maple cabinetry and stone-inspired tile. Each finish was picked to balance elegance with durability.

A freestanding soaking tub is the focal point, set near the window to make the most of natural light. Next to it, the spacious glass-enclosed shower uses large-format porcelain wall tile with a decorative accent band, a porcelain mosaic floor and brushed nickel fixtures behind a frameless glass enclosure.

Dual custom maple vanities give each person storage and counter space, with quartz countertops and illuminated LED mirrors, and layered lighting that works for busy mornings and quiet evenings. A heated towel warmer and custom storage cabinetry round out the room, on luxury vinyl tile flooring with painted trim and millwork.

At $65,000, Boxford is one of the two 2026 primary baths in our project library, alongside the $60,000 spa-inspired bath in Andover, which also has a freestanding tub but pairs a white oak double vanity with brushed brass. Boxford uses maple and brushed nickel, and is the one primary bath among our four with a heated towel warmer listed. The older two are the Byfield bath ($85,000, 2019), with natural stone on the shower walls and ceiling and a skylight, and the Andover Phillips-area bath ($80,000, 2022), with marble-look porcelain and a shower bench.
