Photography by Keith Scott Morton From grand estates, to exquisite country homes, to whole house renovations, the quality and attention to detail of a "Significant Homes" custom home is immediately apparent. Full time on-site supervision, a dedicated office staff and hand picked professional craftsmen are the team that take you from groundbreaking to occupancy. Every "Significant Homes" project represents 45 years of luxury homebuilding experience, and a commitment to quality widely recognized by architects, the press and, most of all....thoroughly satisfied homeowners. Our projects have been published in Architectural Digest 6 times along with many other publications and books. Though the lion share of our work has been in Fairfield and Westchester counties, we have built homes in Palm Beach, Aspen, Maine, Nantucket and Long Island.

Here is that same home. All new features are in proportion to the architecture and correct for the period and style of the home. Bay windows replaced with original style to match others. Water table trim added, spandrels, brackets and a period porch skirt. Other color combinations that work with this house.

The owners wanted to incorporate wood into the design, but they also wanted to reduce the maintenance of real wood as much as possible. We used all-natural cedar wood on the two locations that are most visible to the eye: the timber-framed entrance in front and the bump-out in back. We also added decorative rough-sawn cedar brackets at the roofline to build visual interest above.
