In conjunction with replacing the crumbling foundation, we raised the house and added a two-story addition in phase one, increasing the square footage to add a staircase, more room in the kitchen and a master bedroom and bathroom on the second floor.

MUDROOM

During a second phase we added a mudroom on the ground floor below a second floor covered porch for lounging. Reclaimed columns, hardware and light fixtures, paneled walls and salvaged cabinet doors as ceiling finish take on new life in this sturdy room. A vintage stained-glass window and salvaged sash let the light in, and there’s a secret door just for the kids.

1ST FLOOR BATH

The original bath was updated with sea-hued walls, a wall-hung, salvaged sink, remnant glass mosaic backsplash tile and a hand-painted wall mural. The original wainscot and a stained-glass window were refurbished.

BASEMENT

The basement was fully remodeled, taking it from a dark storage space to a well-lit, subterranean living room. Walls are paneled in wind-fallen, custom-milled and routed wood by Versatile Wood Products. Floors are exposed concrete while ductwork is clad in corrugated sheet metal, combining to give an industrial, loft-like feel.

The open plan family room has a lounging corner with a daybed, perfect for guests, naps or reading. A sound-dampening “music area” has sliding barn doors to enclose the space. The bathroom makes the most of its footprint with a large shower, separate WC and a laundry area concealed by a barn door.
