This 1930’s farmhouse in a lovely Lexington neighborhood was in dire need of more space. We worked closely with the architect and client during the design process to achieve the desired balance between space, cost, and details. The house now has a large kitchen, family room, a first floor powder room, and a New England mudroom. We also constructed two additional bedrooms, bathrooms, and a second floor laundry.

The client selected Paperstone counters for the perimeter cabinetry surfaces. They look clean, they go with the style of the house, and they feel warm to the touch unlike granite. Despite all of this, everyone agrees that the pièce de résistance of the project was the expanded front porch. We saved the original fluted columns, made new beadboard for the ceiling and matched the original flooring while we doubled the porch square footage. The front porch and new stairs are truly welcoming and make the addition indistinguishable from the original structure.
