An 1840’s home carries history in its bones, and constraints to match. This substantial remodel required thinking carefully about what to preserve, what to relocate, and what to change entirely. 

The front door and main entry were moved. Several walls came down to expand the kitchen and connect it to the dining room. A primary bedroom and bathroom suite was carved from existing space. New electrical, plumbing, kitchen appliances, and bathrooms were added. Josh Trimpi Woodworking crafted new kitchen cabinetry to match the original historic design. The original birch floors on the second level were refinished; engineered hardwood was installed throughout the first floor. A new porcelain tile hearth was set flush with the flooring. 

Bluedove Builders handled the architectural design for this project.
