A dilapidated two story English home was re-envisioned as a glamorous and eclectic family home.  The house was gutted and reduced in size to allow for a more generous backyard.  The kitchen space was reworked to open to the breakfast room and a new den.  At the entry, the stairwell was opened up to create a more dramatic two story space.  All finishes throughout are new as well as cabinetry, lighting and bathrooms (except one where the original tiled wainscot was retained).  A new garage was also built.
