This 1.5-story house was built during 1929 in a Tudor cottage style. The homeowners wanted to create a more open layout downstairs by combining the kitchen, the living room, and an office while keeping the newly designed space in style with the rest of this University Park home.<\/p>\n
All walls dividing the rooms were demolished and a small addition was built onto the home for a drastically improved layout. Within the new addition, the homeowners\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 dream woodburning fireplace was installed. The new fireplace was encased in hand-selected Calcutta gold marble and included a custom wood mantle. To accomplish a completely open floorplan, the roofline was altered from hip to gable style. This allowed for the ceiling beams to be completely recessed. The original hand-scraped hardwood flooring was kept and matched throughout as it provides warmth and continuity.<\/p>\n
To ensure the new finishes blended seamlessly with the remaining house, the designer chose a clean white palette with splashes of blue. The backsplash is a pearl white subway tile from Daltile\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s Historic Collection arranged in a classic herringbone pattern to compliment the new Taj Mahal quartzite with leathered finish countertops from Levantina. Flemish glass was utilized in the top cabinet doors to further elevate the kitchen.<\/p>\n
Where the range originally stood along an existing wall, now sits a bespoke island with a blue, painted base and a walnut, flat grain wood countertop situated below two chic Park Harbor pendant lights with an antique silver finish adding energy and creating a focal point in the kitchen area.<\/p>\n
