Lake Orion Welcomes Nicole Curtis Back for Renovation Magic

Lake Orion Welcomes Nicole Curtis Back for Renovation Magic

In a thrilling return to Lake Orion, the home renovation superstar, Nicole Curtis, is back in action with a brand new series, “Rehab Addict Lake House Rescue.” Fans of her captivating renovations from shows like “Rehab Addict” and “Rehab Addict Rescue” are in for a treat as she tackles one of the most ambitious projects of her career. This time, she’s resurrecting a stunning historic waterfront cottage that dates back to 1904.

From Demolition to Dream Home

This 700-square-foot cottage was on the brink of demolition, but thanks to Curtis’s efforts, it’s being transformed into a gorgeous lakeside retreat for her family. The new series, which premiered on November 3 and airs every Thursday at 9 p.m. on HGTV, will take viewers on a journey through this extensive renovation process. Tune in or catch it online on discovery+ to see how she brings this dream space to life.

What makes this project particularly special is the incredible feat of raising the cottage three stories high to incorporate a new basement and a historically accurate first floor. Curtis describes the original cottage as a new “cake topper” serving as the second and third floors. It’s a blend of historic charm and modern needs, creating a unique living space that still respects its roots.

All the Cozy Details

From the period-correct verandas to the carefully salvaged windows, every detail is thoughtfully executed. But the fun doesn’t stop there; this renovation includes a backyard bliss area featuring a delightful treehouse for her kids to enjoy. It sounds like the perfect backdrop for family gatherings and lazy summer afternoons!
