Entering this 1913 Colonial Revival in Cambridge felt like stepping into a time capsule undergoing a breathtaking transformation. The journey began by reclaiming space on every floor, removing the back staircase for a cedar closet and new laundry room. The reimagined main entrance led to a gracious foyer and a grand staircase, extending to a third-floor retreat with guest quarters.
Thoughtful modifications beautified the rear entry of the home as well, including a mudroom, powder room, and coat closet—ensuring practicality without compromising style. Structural challenges from the 1900s were artfully met, removing a drop beam, harmonized ceilings and improved flow between dining and living areas.
In the dining room, closets gave way to a stunning 3-bay French door system, framing firelit warmth shared with the adjacent kitchen. A complete overhaul here, enlarged the footprint, added windows, and a spacious quartz-topped island that beckoned gatherings of all sizes.
The transformation continued through the formal living room to a refreshed conservatory flooded with natural light. Renewed exterior windows celebrated the home’s vitality and mirrored the owners’ love for gardening. The primary bathroom underwent a transformative upgrade, echoing thoughtful enhancements throughout, creating a sanctuary of relaxation and care.
Externally, a new fence, meticulous stucco repairs, and fresh paint crowned the project, ensuring that the exterior matched the interior’s beauty and functionality.
In this symphony of craftsmanship and vision, each space tells a story of human ingenuity and dedication. Amidst this rejuvenation, which space resonates most with you, embodying the warmth and essence of home?
