ICONIC DETAILS

  • Comprehensive renovation of a 1901 cottage to improve circulation, natural light, and livability
  • New front gable and covered porch create a defined entry sequence and brighter foyer
  • Custom millwork, warm wood details, and subtle nautical cues unify the interiors
  • Reconfigured kitchen and mudroom addition relieve pinch points and improve indoor–outdoor flow

OVERVIEW

A once-charming but constrained cottage was transformed through a careful reorganization that improves movement, light, and clarity. Integrated cabinetry, strategic windows, and refined millwork bring cohesion to formerly dark, compressed spaces.

The renovation enhances daily routines and entertaining, from a new entry and butler’s pantry to a reimagined kitchen and expanded upper suite. The result is a more functional home that honors its century-old character while supporting modern living.
