This is a wonderful opportunity to own a completely renovated Fitz-Simons Town Home! This elegant home features incredible natural light, a pristine courtyard, and pine floors. You will enter the foyer and immediately be impressed by the open living spaces. The formal living room is bright and sunny with architectural details, surround sound, a gas fireplace with a distressed mantle. The formal dining room is open with surround sound and an elaborate lighting fixture. The designer kitchen is open with recessed lights, an island with eating space, stone countertops, Bosch dishwasher, Dacor double over with six burner gas range, hood vent, beautiful cabinets, stone floor, a subzero, and garden views. The keeping room off of the kitchen is a true delight to spend your time. The powder bath features a pedestal sink and is tucked inside the paneled staircase. There is a lovely display alcove with two storage closets. The second level features oak floors. The luxurious master suite has garden views, a sitting area, a marble vanity with a distressed mirror, sunken garden tub, marble tile walk in shower, a coat closet, and large walk in closet. The second bedroom is also on the second level with a private bath that has a walk in shower and a large walk in closet. The third bedroom is on the third level with Berber carpet, a private bath, and lots of extra storage space. The courtyard is detailed with flagstone, boxwoods, and an iron gate. The driveway has parking for two cars. The home has also been fitted with hurricane shutters.

The project consists of three primary additions, one a workshop and garage, the second a basement expansion that juts out over the lake, and a third, which expands the existing living areas with a wall of glass. This third addition, originally not part of the project, was a recommendation by Architecture Office well received by the client because of how it transformed the existing living areas. The existing architecture consists of a historic neo-classical house with a less purist addition that attempts to mimic the original. We took the approach of contrasting the existing to avoid having two additions lacking the craft and integrity of the original. This contrast is a welcoming change to previously dark interiors. The concept opens up opportunities for capturing lake views, creating modern living areas that flow from one to the next. The rear garage and second floor workshop compliment the owners entrepreneurial spirit, a person who enjoys the act of a making. The form is simple but clearly delineates itself form the brick construction with black metal siding and a glass walkway connecting the two. The structure draws from old factory buildings that gather daylight from above, synthesized through a milky polycarbonate portion of roof. The basement addition expands on an existing subterranean space used for storage and utilities. This room is converted into a living space with sleeping quarters, wet bar, and restroom facilities. This living room is a mini oasis from the rest of the house with views secluded to the water and sky. The openness of the balcony expand the view in all directions, with the sun blocked under a cantilevered shade cover.

The Albany is a two story plan that makes great use of available square footage It foregoes the formal living room in favor of a spacious formal dining room, open family room, study or fifth bedroom, and a covered patio. A two story foyer creates an open entry, and the very open layout of the family room, kitchen, and breakfast area create a large shared living space. The family room adjoins the covered patio, and the first floor study/fifth bedroom is located at the rear of the home. The upstairs primary suite is accessed by double doors, and includes a tray ceiling in the bedroom, a private sitting room, private access to a covered deck, a room-sized closet, and luxury bath with corner whirlpool, separate shower, dual vanities, and enclosed commode area. The upstairs hall opens to three more bedrooms, two of which share a bath, and to the home's third full bath, utility room, and second linen closet. Two exterior elevations are offered, both featuring a covered entry and a multi-layered hip-and gable roof design, incorporating both brick and shake siding on the front of the home.

Interior Designer: Vision Interiors by Visbeen Builder: Joel Peterson Homes Photographer: Ashley Avila Photography As a conceptual urban infill project, the Wexley, is designed for a narrow lot in the center of a city block. The 26’x48’ floor plan is divided into thirds from front to back and from left to right. In plan, the left third is reserved for circulation spaces and is reflected in elevation by a monolithic block wall in three shades of gray. Punching through this block wall, in three distinct parts, are the main levels windows for the stair tower, bathroom, and patio. The right two thirds of the main level are reserved for the living room, kitchen, and dining room. At 16’ long, front to back, these three rooms align perfectly with the three-part block wall façade. It’s this interplay between plan and elevation that creates cohesion between each façade, no matter where it’s viewed. Given that this project would have neighbors on either side, great care was taken in crafting desirable vistas for the living, dinning, and master bedroom. Upstairs, with a view to the street, the master bedroom has a pair of closets and a skillfully planned bathroom complete with soaker tub and separate tiled shower. Main level cabinetry and built-ins serve as dividing elements between rooms and framing elements for views outside.

The purchasers of this Roland Park home had a long standing relationship with PBA, having successfully completing several projects on two previous homes with the firm. Therefore, the level of trust and familiarity allowed for a very aggressive design and construction schedule. The project included the creation of a new mud room within the footprint of an existing covered porch, the renovation of 4 bathrooms within the house, the re-tasking of various rooms throughout the house, introduction of new lighting and building systems, the renovation of a laundry, the creation of a “bunk room” on the third floor, restoration and repair of various exterior elements, significant landscaping, and creation of a spectacular “man cave” in a previously dreary basement.

The walls are covered in a Cole & Son wallpaper with a shimmery silver ground, huge distressed mirror and empire sofa found in Westchester, NY and a plexi glass waterfall table. The sofa's fabric is a mauve linen velvet from Gretchen Bellinger as is the purple satin fabric in the pillows. The third pillow is in a Fortuny fabric. The carpet is Mongolian lamb. Cabinet and two armchairs are clients own pieces. The armchair on the left is covered in a Maharam fabric.

Situated on one of the most prestigious streets in the distinguished neighborhood of Highland Park, 3517 Beverly is a transitional residence built by Robert Elliott Custom Homes. Designed by notable architect David Stocker of Stocker Hoesterey Montenegro, the 3-story, 5-bedroom and 6-bathroom residence is characterized by ample living space and signature high-end finishes. An expansive driveway on the oversized lot leads to an entrance with a courtyard fountain and glass pane front doors. The first floor features two living areas — each with its own fireplace and exposed wood beams — with one adjacent to a bar area. The kitchen is a convenient and elegant entertaining space with large marble countertops, a waterfall island and dual sinks. Beautifully tiled bathrooms are found throughout the home and have soaking tubs and walk-in showers. On the second floor, light filters through oversized windows into the bedrooms and bathrooms, and on the third floor, there is additional space for a sizable game room. There is an extensive outdoor living area, accessed via sliding glass doors from the living room, that opens to a patio with cedar ceilings and a fireplace.

Our “challenge” facing these empty nesters was what to do with that one last lonely bedroom once the kids had left the nest. Actually not so much of a challenge as this client knew exactly what she wanted for her growing collection of new and vintage handbags and shoes! Carpeting was removed and wood floors were installed to minimize dust. We added a UV film to the windows as an initial layer of protection against fading, then the Hermes fabric “Equateur Imprime” for the window treatments. (A hint of what is being collected in this space). Our goal was to utilize every inch of this space. Our floor to ceiling cabinetry maximized storage on two walls while on the third wall we removed two doors of a closet and added mirrored doors with drawers beneath to match the cabinetry. This built-in maximized space for shoes with roll out shelving while allowing for a chandelier to be centered perfectly above.
