This gorgeous house, added onto and adapted since the 1600’s, is the site of a renovation which connects inside and outside in a way that makes the most of the views and landscape, while creating cozy and sunny space to create and entertain.

This 1840’s farmhouse had been added on to over the years in ways which did not enhance its unique character. We redesigned the four-car garage into three bays with a mudroom entry. The connecting ell was redesigned to eliminate the 70’s style transom windows and unceremonious back door, and provide a welcoming and functional main entrance. The master bedroom’s large skylights were replaced with a large dormer capturing the view of an ancient oak and stream which runs behind the house. The expanded family room/music room opens to a small patio at the rear, allowing a private view of the wooded slope. The kitchen was completely renovated and expanded to include a new powder room, a pantry, and lots of space for cooking and entertaining. His and Hers master baths and the renovation of a large bath in the original house completed the renovation.

This design transformed a typical arrangement of two bedrooms with a bath between into a stunning master suite with two full baths with entirely different but complementary characters, a common dressing area, and a bedroom that feels much removed from the activity of the household.
