• Remarks addendumOwner's vision & project overview: By the end of the project in December 2021, the entire house had been completely rebuilt inside & out. The brook was beautifully contained in a hand-built structure with pools and waterfalls & deep enough to hold the thrilling rush of the biggest rainstorms. The wood patios were replaced with bluestone & Ipe hanging decks, high above the backyard woodlands outside of the two master suites, & off of the new kitchen. Three new kitchenettes were installed: in the new upstairs suite, caregiver suite, and downstairs gym & craft rooms. Three laundries were built for privacy & ease of use. The main floor kitchen gained a 12-foot center island with a sink, dishwashers, storage & seating for endless cooking & entertaining. The whole house flooring was thoughtfully replaced with mahogany-stained Asian walnut, as well as sophisticated tiling & epoxy garage flooring. The exterior lost its old school stucco, replaced by 3-D printed aluminum siding & stone. The entire house, from basement to rooftop was completely rebuilt for beauty & ease of living. In gently redesigning the existing footprint, the house walls were replaced wherever possible with large Thermopane windows -ultimately more than 100 - & more than 20 skylights added to allow in the maximum amount of light & outdoor viewing. Oil heating was replaced with propane & brand-new highest technology whole house systems. The house has all new electrical & all new plumbing. The infrastructure for future solar panel leasing or ownership is already in place. The lighting & appliances are all brand new & energy efficient. Landscaping: The house is surrounded by native hardwoods including three types of Hickories, majestic old Oaks, Silver Maples, two Dogwood species, Elm, Birch, Willows, White Ash, & Sweet Birch. Planted additions include: boxwoods, Mountain Laurel, Japanese Andromeda, native Rhododendrons, Lilac and Azalea. The owner has curated wildflowers to benefit pollinators & native birds. Local native plants include St. John's Wort, Jewelweed, Queen Anne's Lace, Wild Geranium, sunflowers, & a variety of squashes. In early spring, edible wild ramps proliferate. In July, Wineberries (wild raspberries) ripen in such profusion that an enterprising jam lover can stock up for a year of homemade jam gift giving or leave them on the vine for the birds of summer.
