This 7,000 s.f. brick Dutch
Colonial house originally built in was completely
gutted and renovated. Several alterations and
modifications required removal and reconfiguration.
The only rooms remaining in their original locations
are the living room and dining room.
The front porch was in poor
condition and was completely rebuilt with new
limestone columns and balusters. The Gothic window
surround on the third floor was replaced with
limestone trim in lieu of brick and limestone.
A new stair hall was created from
first to third floor including a dormer on the west
side of the gambrel roof which floods the stair hall
with natural light. The third floor which was
originally one open finished attic space, was
transformed into guest quarters and features two
bedrooms, a study and three full baths.
An elevator serves all four
floors. The family room features an antique wood
mantel from the Palmer Potter Mansion. A new library
features walnut paneling and bookshelves lining the
entire room.
The rear yard incorporates an
outdoor fireplace and a pergola connecting the
existing garage to the rear entry of the house. It
reuses the stone columns from the front porch which
rest atop brick piers. |
