Project: Addition / Restoration
Year: 1948
Location: Newton
Type: Center Hall Colonial
Square Footage: 3,886
Completed: 2014
Contractor: Britton Homes
Photographer: Matthew Delphenich
The client wished to restore and expand this older home while maintaining its modest 1948 Colonial front facade. The back of the house was cramped, dark and had little access to the beautiful level backyard.
A partial two-story addition at the back of the house blends with the existing architecture. The addition focuses on making a connection to the private backyard by adding much needed eastern daylight throughout the home. Modernizing the flow in and around the kitchen and incorporating an open floor plan was critical to the design concept, making the kitchen a focal point in the home where cooking is central to the family’s daily lifestyle. A much needed master suite, guest suite and powder room were also part of the renovation.
