Second Empire Renovation - Belmont, MA

A largely interior renovation that, with the help of a small addition, simplified a circuitous first floor plan, creating a new kitchen, mudroom, and half bath. Upstairs, the second floor was reconfigured to create a primary suite while maintaining four bedrooms.

We also solved a long standing wet basement issue, which allowed us to create a finished exercise room and an additional bathroom.

The kitchen (a showstopper designed by Karen Swanson) was featured in the December 2020 issue of House Beautiful.
