This historic Brookside home was modernized with a refined, transitional approach that honored its character while updating it for today’s lifestyle. I reimagined the flow of the home — opening spaces by removing walls, drawing in natural light, and replacing dated details with fresh, clean lines and timeless materials. Each choice balanced beauty with functionality, ensuring that the home not only looked sophisticated but also supported the daily rhythms of family life. By focusing on durable finishes and thoughtful design details, the renovation transformed unused and underutilized areas into inviting, purposeful spaces that feel both historic and new.
