THE VIBE
The tale begins with a busy mother of two (our ‘damsel in distress’) stumbling upon the property and falling in love. One look was all it took – the 100-year-old white gabled farmhouse with a covered porch, surrounded by a cluster of dwellings and tucked into a corner lot with a cascading yard framed by heritage oak trees stole her heart. The owner/designer envisioned a family compound that wove the structures together in a timeless manner. Locally sourced stone fireplaces inside and out, expansive porches and terraces, heritage wooden floors, claw foot bathtubs, vegetable gardens, and chicken coop would evoke a humble but luxurious lifestyle, a style personified by this delightful family. A few years later, her dream came true…
THE DETAILS
Old meets new in this sprawling single-family compound. It’s a concoction of cottage-like structures artfully strung together to house a growing family. The designer/owner painstakingly researched, vetted and curated every detail of this fabled property’s remodel and re-envisioning. It is a living lesson in balance, keeping the character of a legacy home yet updating it to accommodate the marvels of modern living. The extensive original custom woodwork and hand-crafted columns throughout the homestead were preserved, and each structures’ foundation of local river stones lend the home a forever feeling. Sprinkled like fairy dust are thoughtful touches that transform us from the past to the present, reminding us that traditions are important, but we create our own magic!
