This country classic by famed Main Line builder/architect Walter Durham, currently owned by a well known and highly respected hotel builder, was badly in need of a complete update with a new master suite, kitchen, and state of the art green energy and geothermal technology. These projects were all lovingly completed by our team of craftsmen at Cottage Industries in the spring of 2005.
A large 2nd floor master suite was added to this historic farmhouse along with a new kitchen with huge central stone fireplace. The homeowners spoke highly of our attention to detail .
The clients live in a restored 18th-century barn converted to a home in the early 1980s. The original barn conversion was beautiful but an architecturally inappropriate garage had been attached that marred the overall appearance. The home also lacked space, especially storage due to the existing vaulted barn interiors and the lack of a basement or attic. We built a three story “barn” addition, perpendicular to the existing barn creating a classic Pennsylvania farm style L. The new barn has a master suite on the third floor, 2 bedrooms with attached bathrooms, a playroom and pantry on the second floor and a two car garage, workshop with full basement, family entrance with foyer and an expanded family room on the first floor.
Second floor addition to historic residence creating a family room with vaulted ceiling with antique hand hewn beams, reclaimed chestnut flooring, a wood stove /oven combination with a 2 story stone wall behind it, and a new wood shop area at ground level for this Villanova Professor, Assistant VP for Strategic Initiatives, and weekend carpentry hobbyist.
