Before
After

The owners’ goal with this home in The Pines was to create a larger home, respectful of the traditional texture of the neighborhood.   They needed a larger home to accommodate frequent house guests while preserving owners’ privacy.  The result is a modern cottage that combines original elements with Nantucket cottage styling.  The interior features intimate spaces rich in texture, from the beaded ceiling of the living room to the reclaimed beams used in the ceiling of their private sitting room.  

The expanded first floor includes the original dining room, an expanded kitchen, guest bedroom, sitting room and living room.  A closer look at the screen porch reveals the details added to unify it with the updated exterior styling.     The new second floor is largely devoted to the owner’s suite, including master bedroom, bath, laundry, dressing area, and sitting room.
