Classic European with Tuscan Flair

The home in question is a 1950s Cape Cod style bungalow. It has a beautiful view of a large outdoor deck, covered patio and backyard ravine lot, however the interior had been sorely in need of a total overhaul. A complete renovation of the kitchen and living spaces addressed a lack of functionality within the rooms. The homeowners’ also wanted their home to truly reflect their lifestyle as well as meet the standards of its original architecture and the neighborhood.

The kitchen was completely gutted and redone. All of the electrical, plumbing, fixtures, cabinetry, floors, accessories, light fixtures, trims, doors and windows were changed. The partition wall between the kitchen and the dining room was removed to open up the area. The results are transformative. Stately and classically European, the home has become a glorious, Tuscan beauty.
