Local Home Transformations
Love your home's character and location, but in need of an update? Moving is not the only solution! ICON Custom Builders has completed small and large-scale projects on a variety of homes built in the early 1900s through the 1990s. Look at these beautiful local transformations by ICON!
Lewisville:
~ Year built: 1995
~ Scope of work: The ICON team worked with the existing layout to create a modernized space that checked off the ownerās āmust havesā - a large soaking tub, ample storage, a more spacious walk-in shower, and a serene spa-like feel.
West End:
~ Year built: 1920
~ Scope of work: The ICON team converted a dark, damp, unfinished basement into a usable entertaining space.
Sherwood Forest:
~ Year built: 1971
~ Scope of work: The project involved transforming the existing garage and kitchen into a larger kitchen, beverage bar, mudroom, laundry room, and office area.
Ronnieās Country Store Returns
Ronnieās Country Store closed its doors in 2021 after Ronnie retired, much to the dismay of the local community. The business was one of the few spots to get groceries in downtown Winston-Salem.
Thankfully, the story doesnāt end there.
Reopening: The Mayfair Hospitality Group purchased the business from Ronnie when he retired. On Thursday, January 26, Mayfair will reopen Ronnieās Country Store in ROAR.
History: The local grocery store opened in 1925 under the name W.G. Whiteās Grocery. The business relocated after a fire in 1969 burned down the original location. Ronnie Horton took over operations in 1994 and ran the business for nearly three decades.
Details: Ronnieās Country Store specializes in country ham, fresh fruit, and vegetables. The new location will be open 7 days a week.
