Still presenting itself with plenty of character, this much-loved house had declined over the years and lost sight of its original strength and purpose. Vestiges of the original beauty and elegance remained in the living room and entry, but many of the rooms had changed over the years and lost the connection to the outdoors. We restored direct hallways and views to the outside, introduced traditional skylights, and added bedrooms and an outdoor porch sympathetic to the original massing of the house. With decorating by Cullman & Kravis Associates, this house has returned to its rightful place – a local icon, standing proudly overlooking the Atlantic.
