This kitchen’s well-crafted interior features traditional design, and custom details. The houses’ original cast iron sink was saved and the cabinetry from the sixties, replaced with a style more fitting to the original 1907 home.

With just a few thoughtful essentials, an empty area of the kitchen can become the most sought-after spot in the house. Tucked into a charming nook, the plank-topped Arlo round table cozies up to café-style seating – which include the solid oak Bayfield side chairs. Bright, comfy pillows and a calming piece of art help create an irresistible dining space, where early mornings are spent curled up with croissants and coffee, and late evenings linger over dessert and wine.

The best of past and present architectural styles combine in this welcoming, farmhouse-inspired design. Clad in low-maintenance siding, the distinctive exterior has plenty of street appeal, with its columned porch, multiple gables, shutters and interesting roof lines. Other exterior highlights included trusses over the garage doors, horizontal lap siding and brick and stone accents. The interior is equally impressive, with an open floor plan that accommodates today’s family and modern lifestyles. An eight-foot covered porch leads into a large foyer and a powder room. Beyond, the spacious first floor includes more than 2,000 square feet, with one side dominated by public spaces that include a large open living room, centrally located kitchen with a large island that seats six and a u-shaped counter plan, formal dining area that seats eight for holidays and special occasions and a convenient laundry and mud room. The left side of the floor plan contains the serene master suite, with an oversized master bath, large walk-in closet and 16 by 18-foot master bedroom that includes a large picture window that lets in maximum light and is perfect for capturing nearby views. Relax with a cup of morning coffee or an evening cocktail on the nearby covered patio, which can be accessed from both the living room and the master bedroom. Upstairs, an additional 900 square feet includes two 11 by 14-foot upper bedrooms with bath and closet and a an approximately 700 square foot guest suite over the garage that includes a relaxing sitting area, galley kitchen and bath, perfect for guests or in-laws.

The clients wanted a bright, white space that would be on par with current design trends but would also stand the test of time, having a classic feel. We removed the old dining nook against the wall to create space for the upgraded Cafe refrigerator and pantry cabinets. Removing a wall on the opposite side of the kitchen created space for open shelving and more cabinet space. In the powder room, we added a patterned floor tile to make a statement in the small but quaint space. The navy vanity and mix of black and brass fixtures took a note from the kitchen finishes. The open brass shelving unit hung above the toilet added a touch of glamour and function.

On the exterior, this original 1950’s Ranch Style house was transformed to fit more closely with its Newton, MA neighborhood. The exterior rooflines were raised and the Colonial Style features enhanced the transformation. Interior rooms were opened up to create a new kitchen and Family Room access.

Comfortable indoor and outdoor seating was a main priority for this home's design. An added sitting area lines the windows-bringing comfortable relaxation as close to the gulf as possible! With coral colors, a coral print rug, and an ivory coral chandelier, the oceanic feel undeniably carries itself throughout this area.
