Over 100 years old, this home was facing a variety of maintenance and space issues. The old dilapidated covered entry roof was replaced with a much statelier barrel-vaulted roof, structural columns, and timeless brick.

The addition of a small but impactful two-foot bump-out towards the backyard accomplished the clients’ ideal kitchen, which is now dressed up with white cabinetry, tile, and a sparkling waterfall quartz island that contrasts beautifully with rich walnut cabinetry and darker wood floors.

The petite main-floor powder room, tucked into the stairway, features walls of glass tile to visually increase the space.

The lower level presented a different set of challenges the team had to get creative to solve — namely, fitting a bedroom, bathroom, bar, TV room, laundry room, mechanical room, and storage into the 600-square-foot foundation.

Everything from the metal entry roof to the stunning antique glass bar mirror was designed to reflect the homeowners’ preferences while enhancing the classic style of this 1907 home.

Must-see features include custom cabinetry and artisan millwork, as well as the rustic live-edge bar top in the moody basement.
