Moving from an outgrown, yet quaintly historic home, the homeowner valued its traditional details and charm, but desired a more open floor plan. The vision for their new home became an exterior that is classically colonial to fit the aesthetic of their new suburban neighborhood guidelines. An expansive front porch crowned with a stained ceiling and barrel entry is a historic nod in a new build, while incorporating an aspect for socializing to greet the neighbors passing by. On the inside, traditional bones were accented with modern flair. A design theme expressing clean lines punctuated with dark and light details and an open floor plan delivers this Modern Family Colonial.
