Overview
Materials & Finishes
Living Room
Designed as the heart of the home, the living room fireplace becomes an immediate focal point through a thoughtful layering of natural and refined materials. Ledger stone wraps the surround with organic texture and depth, while a Carrara marble hearth grounds the composition in classic elegance. A paint-grade mantle offers a clean, tailored frame — ready to be finished to complement the room's evolving palette. Lili Spark decorative tile accents introduce a moment of artistry, adding visual interest that elevates the fireplace from functional feature to true design statement.
Basement
The basement fireplace echoes the refined sensibility of the main level, with a matching ledger stone surround and paint-grade mantle that create a cohesive thread between the two spaces. The result is a lower level that feels intentional and connected — not an afterthought, but a natural extension of the home's character.
Exterior
The home's exterior receives a comprehensive refresh rooted in both performance and curb appeal. Energy Star rated white wood-clad replacement windows with standard screens bring improved efficiency without sacrificing the warmth of a traditional aesthetic. A full exterior repaint in a homeowner-selected custom color gives the façade a personalized, polished identity, while upgraded coach lights and flood lighting fixtures ensure the home makes a confident impression well into the evening hours.
Laundry Room
Practical and properly appointed, the laundry room is outfitted with a new washer pan and dedicated plumbing connections — a foundational upgrade that protects the home and supports long-term functionality.
