A symmetrical gable and porch settled the home elegantly into its surroundings, and a rear addition allowed for extensive reorganization of the main floor. The efficient new floor plan, interior views between rooms and good flow throughout make this home live large. Both inner and outer details are modern interpretations of traditional profiles. And while parts of the original house—its roof, stair and chimney—remain intact, the old form is hardly recognizable. This urban transformation is an example of good design focused on quality rather than quantity.
