A major update of a house designed and built by locally prolific architect Morton Payne in the 60's and preserved essentially as it was in the late 70s. The goal was to maintain the sprit of the house but shift it a little more contemporary in style. It was largely a matter of removing elements for a cleaner look. New windows and brick were added to define the entry. The beautiful existing slate floor in the entry was reconditioned and we were able to find a very close match to expand it into the "morning room". Despite a mix of finishes and traditional and more contemporary spaces the house feels very cohesive. Some details to look for include: Backpainted glass backsplashes color matched to the walls, handpainted wall paper on white gold leaf, a gilded domed ceiling powder room, white Carrera marble tiles, a built-in live edge desk top and so many others!
