This historic home renovation was guided by a deep respect for the home’s original character, preserving its craftsmanship while thoughtfully integrating modern amenities. The kitchen balances custom wood cabinetry, classic hardware, and clean quartz countertops with period-appropriate trim and a soft green tile backsplash. A carefully added bathroom was designed to feel original to the home, featuring timeless finishes and handcrafted details. The former laundry room was reimagined as a butler’s pantry, now a richly detailed and highly functional space. Throughout the project, every decision honored the home’s history while enhancing its livability for today.

In a walkable neighborhood near the center of town, a historic masonry and timber frame structure has a new future as a residence containing 10 apartments. The property was originally built by the Elks in 1913 and later became a Masonic lodge, which included a bar, kitchen, meeting rooms and office space. The new apartments range from studios, 1-bedroom, and 2-bedroom units from 500 square feet to 1000 square feet. In conformance with the municipality’s 20% affordable housing requirements, two of the apartment units will be priced as affordable housing. The top floor of the existing building is double-height, allowing for mezzanine space. Apartments are designed as loft style, with modern detailing; a “SoHo aesthetic.” The character of the building is being restored and preserved, and where possible original brick, stucco, and wood are exposed and refinished. The exterior gains a new stair and elevator tower addition, along with new window openings where necessary. A new plaque designed for the building describes its historic roots in Princeton. With the inclusion of a green roof, LEED for Homes certification is being pursued for the project.

“We had a lot to consider when we designed this,” says Dave Stockwell. “First, of course, the trees had to be preserved. But we also considered the property’s topography, the soil, solar exposure, the overall size of the property, where we could place active and passive use areas, not to mention the home’s architecture.”
