Work on the exterior of the original house began with installation of new cornice moldings and rakeboards. A new cedar shake roof was installed with pole gutters and dormers to provide light in the finished attic. All windows were replaced with new mortise and tenon, white oak timber frames fitted with reproduction sash and shutters. The original front door was hung in a new reproduction doorframe topped with a traditional hood to replicate an original feature. All exterior stonework was re-pointed with hydraulic lime mortar to match the color and style of the original pointing.

The restoration of this 200 year old home was inspired by a Greek revival style, characteristic of early American architecture. A local housewright and historian worked together with Daniel Contelmo during the restoration in order to preserve the home's antiquity. Most of the foundation remains the original fieldstone, and the exposed hand-hewn beams were carefully removed, restored, and replaced. Traditional Pine Plains windows and a wrap-around porch display the pastoral 10 acre site, complete with lake and Catskill mountain views. Although the interior of the house was completely renovated, a New-Old house technique was used by distressing 20 inch-wide floorboards, installing two Rumford fireplaces, and using milk paint on cabinetry. Prior to renovating the home a magnificent timberframe barn was erected in the location where an original 1800s barn had burned down 100 years previously.
