What a fine historic home. It's not my style, but I have to appreciate the craftsmanship and how, over the course of 20 yrs., they meticulously restored the Gambrel Colonial. It's now a museum quality reproduction crafted by master carpenters and architectural woodworkers that used authentic old world techniques. The 1900 home in Charlemont, MA has 6bds, 5ba, 4,473 sq ft, $2.1m.
The entrance hall has wide-plank knotty pine floors, wainscoting and wood paneling. The new woods give it a much lighter look.
If you're going to renovate an historic home, this is the way to do it.
Can you picture how they cooked in this hearth? Look at the oven on the left.
Love that they didn't use tile or quartz on the counter and backsplash. Originally, they would've been made of wood. Look at the beautiful large beam. Simple metal pots and pans would've hung on the wall just like these.
I've never seen stairs like this, actually inside a brick wall.
The dining room has a fireplace with a deep firebox and a wall of built-in storage.
This room has lovely carved columns around the windows, plus window seats and crown molding. The feature wall also has lovely carved features as well as beautifully arched recessed shelving.
The chandelier looks like it's not electrified. Just authentic pewter and candles. I can't get over how they reproduced all of this. Typically, pine was used on the floors and these are knotty pine. For the walls, etc., they used white pine, oak, and maple.
Some of the wood looks like it may have been restored. I can't be sure, but it looks like white pine.
Such exquisite work.
Deep window seats and working shutters.
In the living room, you can see the discolored wood above the fireplace is definitely restored and original.
And, look at the deep closets with inset bookshelves.
Look at the pitch of the stair well. There's even a small niche in the wall. No hand rails, though. Yikes.
This bedroom is huge.
The bathroom is also large and has wonderful built-in storage furniture.
I'm disappointed in the choice of tub, though. They do have beautifully authentic reproduction plumbing fixtures.
This secondary bd. is also very large. Cute utilitarian fireplace.
I like the way they recessed the sink in the brick wall.
This brick structure in the basement is wonderful. It's like a tunnel.
What a beautiful, elegant 1821 townhouse in Savannah, GA. 5bd, 4ba, 5,852 sq ft, $4.25m.
It has a side hall entrance with sitting rooms off to the left.
Beautiful windows, marble fireplace and a gorgeous chandelier. The room doesn't look that big, but it fits a baby grand pian with ease.
Then, there's a lovely dining room with another marble fireplace.
Have you ever seen a more elegant kitchen? The dove gray cabinetry is the perfect choice for this home. A small library/sitting area has a door to the garden.
There are 3 floors with wide, bright stairways.
The primary bedroom is a nice, large room with a marble fireplace.
This room has access to the terrace. What a level of sophistication this house has.
The baths were tastefully remodeled in dove gray marble.
Pretty closet that looks like a sunroom. It has a great view of the terrace, too.
All of the other bedrooms are very large and bright.
Remodeled shower room. Look at the size of that shower.
Love this small library.
This is cool. It used to be the original kitchen for the "below stairs" staff and they remodeled it. But, they left the original fireplace and oven in the wall. I'm trying to picture what it must've looked like as a kitchen.
Behind the home there's a 2 car garage, small patio, and a guest house.
Both houses have terraces, but look at this beautiful guest apt.
The street view from the main house terrace. .064 acre lot.
