A shell of a house with mismatched materials and more unfinished spaces than finished ones was a one and a half story structure with uncomfortable, oddly shaped rooms and awkward circulation spaces. To call this renovation a “dramatic transformation” is an understatement. With the exception of the screened porch addition, the original footprint was kept intact; and it is now a beautiful two and a half story, three-bedroom home with rich nautical character. The home now features a generous master suite with the highlight being a crow’s nest and widow’s walk to view the expanse of the Chesapeake. In addition to the exquisite views from the crow’s nest and balcony, the new bluestone terrace and screened porch on the south bring the outdoors fully inside. This project was used in a feature segment of HGTV’s “Generation Renovation” program. Anne Gummerson Photography
