Chappaqua Colonial

The original home was a boxy colonial from the 1950s and the scope of our project evolved over time.

The first phase was a light-filled one-story family room. The second phase was an expansion of the kitchen. The third phase was enlarging the garage from two cars to three, with a master suite above.

As part of the third phase, the roof was raised, its pitch was steepened, and dormers were added. Architectural trim and details such as a balcony, brackets, and portico lent a more stately appearance overall.

The master bedroom features french doors leading to a balcony, a fireplace, built-in window seats, and a coffered ceiling.
