About this home
There is a wonderful sense of permanence here. The architecture is substantial with soaring ceilings, warm millwork and generous proportions. Yet for all its scale, the house never feels imposing. Natural light moves through it easily, and nearly every room maintains some connection to the outside. That landscape has become an important part of the house itself. A few years of careful planting of mature trees and plants have created gardens that feel established and private, with layered flower beds surrounding terraces and outdoor rooms. The seasons become part of the interior: green and abundant in summer, changing color in fall, architectural in winter. Inside, renovations have been equally considered. The kitchen pairs rich wood cabinetry with quartzite surfaces, a Wolf range and Cove dishwasher, preserving the warmth of the original architecture while quietly introducing everything expected of a modern kitchen. A former screened porch has been enclosed to create a garden room. This space is surrounded by views that can serve just as easily as a bedroom. The great room remains the heart of the home...generous in scale, open to the gardens, and equally comfortable filled with a group or simply enjoyed by two. Upstairs, the primary suite offers a different kind of luxury. The completely renovated bath is spacious and beautifully composed, with dual vanities, brass fixtures, an oversized shower and a freestanding soaking tub positioned beneath a long wall of windows. A chandelier overhead adds just enough indulgence. Throughout the home, improvements have been made with an unusual respect for what was already here. The craftsmanship remains visible. The architecture still has presence. What has changed has made the house more comfortable, more functional and more relevant without making it feel newly manufactured. The result is a home that feels collected rather than completed, a place shaped over time, and all the better for it.
