Classic Beauty on Salem Harbor

Residence in Lynn, MA

This renovation of a traditional 60's cape uses light, modern colorings, (pale warm gray with off white ceiling trim and moldings) against a jet black black stained oak floor. The dark leather seating accents the light walls and whitish window coverings. The existing brick fireplace was painted off white to match the beams. 
The pale warm gray kitchen cabinets adds just the right amount to warmth and depth without closing in the small space. The island is painted slightly darker than the cabinets and is accented with a spectacular piece of black striped crystalized marble. Etched glass upper cabinet doors filters the cabinet light and provides for beautiful ambient night lighting. 

Front Street House

This is a renovation of a home built in 1820, added onto in 1970 and reinterpreted in 2018. The interior was gutted including the stair to the third floor loft and ceiling in the kitchen. The ceiling was reinforced and beams from a barn in Maine were used to highlight the height of the space. Off white ship-lap pine was used on the walls. The original southern yellow pine floors were patched and refinished. Brick was used in the kitchen to lend authenticity to the interior. The final project is light, airy, eclectic and comfortable year round. 

Foster Street, Marblehead

This graceful harborfront home on Marblehead Neck was a run down '50's box before an extensive renovation turned it into the beauty it is today. Every home should have it's signature. For this home it's certainly the curved ceiling and roof on the third level and the extensive wraparound porch. The traditional interior is appropriate for the design of the house and is consistent throughout. Even the landscape is simple and elegant. It's not hard to image the wonderful summer nights spent with friends on this porch!

Foster Street, Marblehead, MA Transitional Waterfront Home Renovation

Coolidge Road, Marblehead

This beautiful oceanfront home in Marblehead, MA was designed to be low and unassuming on the street side and wide open on the ocean side. The zoning limited the height of the house to 30' which was a challenge on a sloping site. The home is a traditional shingle style design that was intended to fit into the existing neighborhood. The view of the ocean is present at the entry. There are a few steps down to the living area which allow for even greater views with the higher ceiling. Beyond the backyard is an oceanfront spa and an infinity pool overlooking the surf below. Expansive decks on both levels of the back of the house allow for endless outdoor entertainment opportunities.

What You Can Expect When Hiring Us...

Salem St

This project was the dramatic renovation of an unheated barn into a grand family room, 3 bedrooms and a new connecting space with new stairs and built-ins. The charm and beauty of the original 1800's house is recreated in the many custom details, along with fun elements such as a ship's ladder to a reading loft, a roof deck, and a sliding barn door which hides arcade-style video games.

Salem Street, North Andover, MA, Traditional Country Renovation

Little Nahant Road, Nahant

This oceanfront remodel was done with a transitional interior; a modern space with a traditional feel.  The house was small and perched on the side of a steeply sloped site. By opening up the interior we were able to  make the space look bigger, make it more flexible and create a comfortable contemporary feeling in the traditional home.
