Renovation, Restoration

This authentic late 1920s Tudor house had suffered from a lack of maintenance and a botched 1970s-era renovation. We retained and restored the best portion of the existing home, bringing back to life the principal living spaces. A new main entrance was added, the turret was restored, and new chimneys were added. The service wing was taken down and replaced with new family rooms, a kitchen, a guest wing over garages, and an extensive master suite. New slate roofs were added overall.

The interiors are new and, while richly detailed and highly crafted, depart from the original Tudor in that now the interiors are bright, light-filled, and suited to contemporary living. The gardens encircling the house have been reworked as a series of outdoor garden rooms, and a breakfast room terrace with a fountain.
