Virtually untouched for decades, this house in the Hudson River Historic District needed a vision for the 21st century that honored its many character-defining features. 

Swoon-worthy historic assets include two-over-two double-hung wood windows, wood clapboard siding, oak floors and staircase, delightful (and practical) built-ins, paneled doors and distinctive hardware. The house suffered from deferred maintenance, dated kitchen and bathrooms, awkwardly configured spaces upstairs, and struggling mechanical systems. Our project touched every corner of the house, inside and out, basement to attic. We updated the heating and electrical systems; made foundation repairs; reworked the upstairs layout to create three comfortable bedrooms with generous closets, a home office and two full bathrooms with locally sourced vintage fixtures; designed a modern but period-appropriate kitchen; installed new plumbing throughout; repaired woodwork and refurbished original floors; laid new oak wideboard floors in place of wall-to-wall carpet; insulated; restored the wood windows and installed new storm/screen units; repaired plaster; scraped, polished and painted. We also furnished the interior and coordinated landscaping.
