Custom Home, Family Residence, Exterior
The client purchased this home primarily for its property and location. The original home itself was a somewhat non-descript builder’s colonial with a columned front porch and no other significant architectural detail. The owner had always admired authentic Victorian era homes and felt this home might be their best chance at ever owning one. The roof pitches and overall mass of the existing home just did not fit the new objectives so we ended up building around and over most of the original structure in order to accomplish our goal. The result is a home with outstanding craftsmanship and a style that does not simply copy Victorian detail, but instead has a strong family resemblance.
