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.
