This family-friendly addition to an elegant Manchester, New Hampshire home adapted the house to the needs of a young family while preserving the elegance of the stately brick colonial revival residence. Built in 1926 as a wedding present from a wealthy lawyer to his daughter, it was sold by her estate after she passed away. The young couple that purchased the home lived in it for seven years and gradually realized that it needed to be updated to accommodate their family's lifestyle. They and their four young children were committed to staying in their neighborhood with parks and schools within walking distance and wanted to add space while maintaining the elegance of the original structure.
