At this North Shore farmhouse, we removed a small kitchen separated from the rest of the house and took over a covered porch to create a combined kitchen and family room. The space is united with large windows and bright trim; the center is defined by the island made of African mahogany.
The family dining space features a box bay with tall windows and a window seat that looks out to the side yard and garden. Upstairs a new front-to-back master bedroom was created.
