The Modern Traditionalist

In this charming Dutch Colonial, our clients wanted modern touches while preserving the home’s century-old character. To honor the home’s history, we preserved the original hardwood floors and introduced all-new inset white oak cabinetry—some stained black for depth and durability, others left in a lighter stain for warmth—paired with honed Calacatta Oro Terra marble countertops. In the dining area, a full-height glass cabinet features distinctive iron-framed glass doors with LED interior lighting.

The kitchen functions as both a culinary workspace and a social hub, anchored by a sculptural banquette island and accented with dark bronze and iron finishes. Phantom screens surround the new covered patio, creating a seamless connection between indoors and out. Rooted in tradition and elevated through design, this home is made for gathering, celebrating, and savoring life together.
