Our goal with the Hermitage renovation was to update the layout and function of a 1920s home for a modern family, but maintain the traditional details that give the house its charm. The attic space was finished and connected to the upper floor with a new staircase, the kitchen was relocated and expanded, bathrooms were reorganized and updated, and the basement was renovated for a home office. A terraced deck was added to create new outdoor living spaces.
