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.

We worked closely with the owner, the editor of a local Foodie magazine, to develop a functional and beautiful small space for this gourmet chef.

Making the most of the existing house, we added a deck to expand the entertaining potential of the new open kitchen/dining space. A custom tv and sound system cabinet was tucked into the sunporch, and the home was ready for action!
