While the original home layout posed several challenges, the design team began by addressing long-term accessibility. Adding wide 36-inch doorways throughout the main level and shifting the primary suite, laundry, and essential living areas onto one floor makes the home fully livable and meets aging-in-place needs without sacrificing comfort or style.

Designed for a couple who savors entertaining and hosting out-of-town guests, the layout flows in a circular pattern — perfect for movement,

memory-making, and lively gatherings.

The scullery includes a second sink, dishwasher, double ovens, and extra freezer space, keeping the main kitchen clutter-free and allowing for easy cleanup during large get-togethers. A salvaged window connects the scullery to the three-season porch, adding charm and functionality and making serving drinks and snacks easy.

Search for the secret doorway that leads to what is affectionately known as “The Clubhouse.” The hidden passageway, formed from an original staircase, adds a touch of whimsy giving the grandkids a playful place to explore.

A new addition off the back of the home forms the primary suite featuring both vertical and horizontal Cambria quartz surfaces, plus allowed for the creation of a den, powder room, and mudroom. The addition also boasts a new wider rear entry stairwell specifically designed for easily carrying bikes in and out of the lower level where maintenance and routine tune-ups take place.

Traditional trim profiles were preserved to honor the home’s original character. These touches of warmth and sophistication are paired with bold finishes that reflect the owners’ love of color and texture, with blue, green, and yellow cabinetry, terrazzo floor tiles, purple accents, and

a coral vanity. The result is a mix of old and new, with just enough polish to feel timeless, yet full of personality.
