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 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 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.
