Modern renovations brought this coastal Maine home up to date, with glass shower, large mirrors, and floating vanity. Changes to the architecture of the home allowed for many options, both interior and exterior.

Pictured is one of the bathrooms in our Highgate Hill house, an art deco set of 4 flats converted into a duplex. The traditional ceilings, details and openings were retained to maintain the art deco character. New alterations were kept to under the picture rail to maintain the volume and detailed ceilings. Colours, tiles, lights and fittings are new additions in classical styles to maintain the art deco feel of the home. Photographer: Ross Eason

Builder: Segard Builders Photographer: Ashley Avila Photography Symmetry and traditional sensibilities drive this homes stately style. Flanking garages compliment a grand entrance and frame a roundabout style motor court. On axis, and centered on the homes roofline is a traditional A-frame dormer. The walkout rear elevation is covered by a paired column gallery that is connected to the main levels living, dining, and master bedroom. Inside, the foyer is centrally located, and flanked to the right by a grand staircase. To the left of the foyer is the homes private master suite featuring a roomy study, expansive dressing room, and bedroom. The dining room is surrounded on three sides by large windows and a pair of French doors open onto a separate outdoor grill space. The kitchen island, with seating for seven, is strategically placed on axis to the living room fireplace and the dining room table. Taking a trip down the grand staircase reveals the lower level living room, which serves as an entertainment space between the private bedrooms to the left and separate guest bedroom suite to the right. Rounding out this plans key features is the attached garage, which has its own separate staircase connecting it to the lower level as well as the bonus room above.

Contemporary Revival inspired bathroom with a navy vanity by Signature Hardware. The metro glass mosaic brings a bold look, and yet traditional look against the modern subway tile and ceramic mosaic floor.
