This charming red brick home, built in the early 1900s, was originally marked for demolition to make space for a sleek new build. But after spending time within its walls, the owners began to see its true potential. They fell in love with the character of the original structure, and the vision for the project shifted—from tearing it down to thoughtfully transforming it.The brief evolved into a sensitive renovation: modernizing the layout, adding much-needed bedrooms, and preserving the timeless details that gave the home its soul. Key to the redesign was making the most of the sweeping water views, which are now a stunning feature of the new space.With a soft, neutral palette throughout and a bold dark-slated gabled roof, the redesigned home strikes a perfect balance. It’s a graceful fusion of old-world charm and contemporary comfort—a relaxed, elegant coastal retreat tailored for the modern family.
