This paved driveway is part of a project completed by Gary Duff Designs which secured and strengthened this home’s existing old-world charm. By building on the original color palette comprised of beautiful reds and browns, the team incorporated natural stones to enhance the look. The renovated walkway can now be summed up in one word: classic. The new and beautiful courtyard was completed by a flowing fountain as the focal point. Fun finishing touch: a basketball half-court with the same beige coloring, because even the most elegant backdrops deserve some whimsy.

Inviting family room centered around a dramatic floor-to-ceiling fireplace feature with a wide linear fireplace and stone-look slab surround.

KEXP-FM Steel-base, hipster-industrial coffee table for music lovers KEXP-FM is a nonprofit arts organization serving music lovers and artists on-air, online, and in person.

The finished spaces feel open, polished, inviting, and effortlessly suited to everyday living.

The master bedroom, an urban oasis looking out to grand oaks. Originally built in 1835, years of deferred maintance and a failing foundation rendered this home in need of a serious help. The home had poorly constructed additions removed, it's core historic structure was raise out of the flood zone, and the angled walls were brought to plumb. The interior was then crafted for contemporary living while maintaining the windows and details of the original home. A complementary addition was added to create an inviting kitchen and master suite. Now re-built and strengthened, it is ready to add to the city's charm for another 150 years. photos by www.newport653.com
