New England Retreat

Home Information

This historic New England estate was thoughtfully transformed into a modern luxury retreat while preserving its architectural integrity. The multi-building property blends heritage elements with contemporary design through refined craftsmanship, updated materials, and improved functionality. The exterior features a striking charcoal façade, stonework, and a rebuilt arched entry, complemented by a resort-style pool terrace. Inside, original details like exposed beams and arched openings are paired with bright, open spaces and modern finishes. A sculptural staircase anchors the home, while reimagined living areas emphasize comfort and elegance. The redesigned kitchen and serene master suite highlight artisanal materials and thoughtful design, resulting in a cohesive, timeless, and highly functional home environment.

BUILDER QUOTE:
Our favorite features are the seamless blend of historic character and modern design, especially the sculptural curved staircase, the arched architectural details, and the four-season pool terrace that extends living into the landscape. The kitchen stands out as the heart of the home, with its custom cabinetry, waterfall island, and handcrafted materials that balance warmth and sophistication.

We included this home on the tour because it represents a true balance of preservation and innovation—honoring New England heritage while delivering elevated, livable luxury. What makes it unique is how every detail feels intentional, from restored timber beams to integrated modern systems.

State-of-the-art materials like high-performance windows, custom millwork, and advanced lighting design enhance comfort and efficiency without compromising aesthetics.

What made this project especially meaningful was the collaborative relationship with the homeowner. There was a shared vision and trust that allowed us to push creative boundaries while staying deeply respectful of the home’s rich history.
