102 Scholes Street in Brooklyn is one of the most sought-after properties in Williamsburg providing 5349 feet of residential space. It is very close to the L, J, M, and G trains, which makes it a breeze to travel to Manhattan. This is a new modern building that was constructed in 2017. It takes urban design to the next level with its high ceilings and glass balconies that provide each apartment with a spacious penthouse appearance. The open-plan kitchen features breakfast counters to share meals with family and friends. The classic Victorian-style lighting and neo-modern finishes further enhance the feeling of comfort and homeliness as soon as you walk in. All 8 units are layered with oak hardwood floors that are very strong and durable. The building also has brand new HVAC systems for cleaner air and cheaper electricity bills. The luxury spa-like bathroom consists of sophisticated pedestal sinks from our Springhill collection. It has a square-shaped veneer with an outer glossy shine. The materials are long-lasting, and the Rockview pattern replicates natural rock formation, adding earthiness through sustainable design. The fine fixtures toilet seat is made from the highest quality materials to provide comfort and ease. It has a dual flush function to prevent clogging and saves more water than a low flow toilet.

Keep your options open! Live in this very well-maintained home as is or rebuild to suit your version of OG life. The large sunny bedroom on the first floor with full bath could be another Master. A fourth bedroom is currently used as a den. The 2nd floor has potential for an additional bathroom as there is plumbing already in the wall. With 0.35 acres in an R-12 zone, there may be approximately 2,000 sq. ft that could be added to this home which is already at a roomy 2,791 sq. ft. An addition and renovation were done in 2004 with new central air recently installed. Casual, comfortable, and welcoming, this home is adjacent to a beautiful salt marsh and offers tidal water views and a wonderful outdoor lifestyle. Watch Egrets and Herons feed their young. Kayak down Ollie's Creek toward... ...Long Island Sound. Enjoy this pretty setting year-round! The owners particularly love the vistas during a quiet snowfall. It is surrounded by nature yet mere steps to all that Old Greenwich has to offer. Quiet serenity and privacy on a cul-de-sac with train station, shops, restaurants, and schools nearby. Lovingly maintained, this home has been in the same family for over 50 years. The owner's credo has always been, ''If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well'' and it shows.

Location, Location, Location! This 4,000 sq ft home sits beautifully on one of Southport’s most coveted cul-de-sacs. This 1+ acre parcel adjoins 6+acres of picturesque protected land trust that includes Southport’s historic wagon trail, native stone walls, large sunny meadow and is bordered by mature trees creating an idyllic New England setting like no other. From this area there is an adjoining 42 acres that the town had deeded natural space. Truly a serene and tranquil oasis. The interior has excellent room scale and flow. The classic Gambrel was expanded to include an inviting, sun filled family room with panoramic views of the property thru abundant windows and sets of French doors that give access to two large decks that overlook and lead to the sweeping level lawn. Also added was an expansive Master bedroom suite that includes a sitting room with floor to ceiling custom book shelves, a large master bath and oversized his and hers dressing room area. With just some decorative updates, this home will truly rival its’ $2 million+ neighbors. The location is convenient to both Fairfield and Westport town centers, schools, 5 beaches, private golf, equestrian or sailing clubs options, and is just minutes to commuting by train or car. This spectacular and unique setting can’t be missed.

Lincoln Farmhouse LEED-H Platinum, Net-Positive Energy OVERVIEW. This LEED Platinum certified modern farmhouse ties into the cultural landscape of Lincoln, Massachusetts - a town known for its rich history, farming traditions, conservation efforts, and visionary architecture. The goal was to design and build a new single family home on 1.8 acres that respects the neighborhood’s agrarian roots, produces more energy than it consumes, and provides the family with flexible spaces to live-play-work-entertain. The resulting 2,800 SF home is proof that families do not need to compromise on style, space or comfort in a highly energy-efficient and healthy home. CONNECTION TO NATURE. The attached garage is ubiquitous in new construction in New England’s cold climate. This home’s barn-inspired garage is intentionally detached from the main dwelling. A covered walkway connects the two structures, creating an intentional connection with the outdoors between auto and home. FUNCTIONAL FLEXIBILITY. With a modest footprint, each space must serve a specific use, but also be flexible for atypical scenarios. The Mudroom serves everyday use for the couple and their children, but is also easy to tidy up to receive guests, eliminating the need for two entries found in most homes. A workspace is conveniently located off the mudroom; it looks out on to the back yard to supervise the children and can be closed off with a sliding door when not in use. The Away Room opens up to the Living Room for everyday use; it can be closed off with its oversized pocket door for secondary use as a guest bedroom with en suite bath. NET POSITIVE ENERGY. The all-electric home consumes 70% less energy than a code-built house, and with measured energy data produces 48% more energy annually than it consumes, making it a 'net positive' home. Thick walls and roofs lack thermal bridging, windows are high performance, triple-glazed, and a continuous air barrier yields minimal leakage (0.27ACH50) making the home among the tightest in the US. Systems include an air source heat pump, an energy recovery ventilator, and a 13.1kW photovoltaic system to offset consumption and support future electric cars. ACTUAL PERFORMANCE. -6.3 kBtu/sf/yr Energy Use Intensity (Actual monitored project data reported for the firm’s 2016 AIA 2030 Commitment. Average single family home is 52.0 kBtu/sf/yr.) o 10,900 kwh total consumption (8.5 kbtu/ft2 EUI) o 16,200 kwh total production o 5,300 kwh net surplus, equivalent to 15,000-25,000 electric car miles per year. 48% net positive. WATER EFFICIENCY. Plumbing fixtures and water closets consume a mere 60% of the federal standard, while high efficiency appliances such as the dishwasher and clothes washer also reduce consumption rates. FOOD PRODUCTION. After clearing all invasive species, apple, pear, peach and cherry trees were planted. Future plans include blueberry, raspberry and strawberry bushes, along with raised beds for vegetable gardening. The house also offers a below ground root cellar, built outside the home's thermal envelope, to gain the passive benefit of long term energy-free food storage. RESILIENCY. The home's ability to weather unforeseen challenges is predictable - it will fare well. The super-insulated envelope means during a winter storm with power outage, heat loss will be slow - taking days to drop to 60 degrees even with no heat source. During normal conditions, reduced energy consumption plus energy production means shelter from the burden of utility costs. Surplus production can power electric cars & appliances. The home exceeds snow & wind structural requirements, plus far surpasses standard construction for long term durability planning.

This project was born out of the owner’s passion for cooking. A personal chef to a local family, the kitchen was going to not only be her office, but a training space for students learning her trade. The most important change was to remove a wall and expand the work space by 2 feet. Adding a prep sink, counter seating and a custom pantry were critical appointments. The materials selected are modern, clean and fresh. The expansive island combines a warm grey painted cabinet and is topped by waterfall white veined quartz countertops. The matte black plumbing fixtures and hardware create drama and contrast against the white countertops and modern shaker cabinetry. The oversized black dome pendants lend a restaurant vibe to the peninsula seating. The stacked stone backsplash lends texture and dimension, and it’s lines are echoed in the fireplace façade. Being averse to countertop outlets, a power strip was tucked underneath the wall cabinetry to keep the backsplash unobstructed. A picket shaped tile was featured as an accent over the client’s BlueStar range. The client’s original ventilation hood was also repurposed. A hospitality station was included and features a beverage cooler, glass display cabinetry and set apart with corbel brackets. The fireplace was refaced with new natural stacked stone in warm greys and touches of spice and features a dark stain wood mantel beam. The recessed niche was fitted with matching lighted floating shelves for display.
