The existing Georgian mansion, located in this Landmarked district, had remained largely untouched since the early 1960s. The gut renovation included an enlargement and modernization of the kitchen and family room, a new children’s play area and reconfigured service stair. The main stair was restored and second-floor landing was enlarged and opened to provide daylight to the center of the house. Here, a welcoming sitting area leads to a reconfigured master bedroom and dressing suite, a study, bedroom suites for the children, and an attic space for drum practice. Details included restoration and enhancement of existing millwork, fireplace stonework and trim; with new finishes and furnishings by Kimberly Hall Creative. A high-velocity central HVAC system was added along with a full electrical upgrade. Exterior work included a new custom side entrance, transom and side lites and new custom iron handrails.

Originally a library off the upstairs Master Bedroom, we added a luxurious Master Bathroom in its place. Light marble tile, clean white walls, and very light limestone in the shower combine for an elegant, chic bathroom. A freestanding tub in front of the shower fill in what would otherwise have been a bare floor. A long window in the shower gives a sneak peek of the view available in the bathroom, and a long shelf below echoes the design. Overhead shower fixtures serve two and a full glass enclosure keep the bathroom feeling open and spacious. Flat panel walnut cabinets pick up on the marble streaks and continue elegant feel. An expansive seating area by the window makes getting ready a breeze. Shaped vessel sinks add interest to the subtly elegant vanities.

Large format limestone tiles used for floor, wall and bath in this classic bathroom. Limestone slab also used for the double vanity

Master bathrooms can be the ultimate personal expression of who you are. This is an extremely personal space, that you can live your dream in. This bathroom was purposefully kept clean and simple, a space to clear your head and wash your stress away, at the end of a hard day.
