Many old homes we are asked to renovate evolve from an original small structure that had been added on to over the centuries. Often we are able to restore the historic sections of the home and renovate or add to it in a way that is both respectful and in keeping with the original structure.
In this case the oldest section of the home sustained extensive damage from termites and dampness over the centuries. Unfortunately there was not much to save, but that provided an opportunity to open up the floor plan to create bright spaces and a very comfortable family home on an historic site.
