The house retains much of its original streetside appearance though renovating architects Susan Alisberg and Ed Parker fashioned a new portico, extended the garage and attached a new mudroom.
At the rear, an existing porch was significantly expanded.
A pair of Circa Lighting pendants illuminate the kitchen island, which accommodates a trio of Ikea bar stools.
The dining room table and chairs are from RH; Bubble chandelier is through Pelle.
Herman Miller rocking chairs define the sunporch as a casual space in which to linger.
A view into the breakfast room reveals Bo Concept table and side chairs; a sectional through Soho Concept; and a Mongolian lamb’s wool stool from West Elm.
The master bedroom occupies a corner of the home’s second floor. The deck is slightly raised, a result of the architects having raised the roof on a first-floor sunporch, situated just below. The railing was minimized to preserve views from the bed.
A seating area off the master bedroom is furnished with a pair of RH swivel chairs and side table.
In the master bathroom, tall windows were added over a soaking tub, made possible after removing an attic area to create a vaulted ceiling. Although the streetside window was small, the architects preserved it rather than alter the appearance and symmetry of the house from the outside.
The shower is positioned opposite the tub. Faucets and fixtures are Kallista.
