Transformations of a New England-Style Home with 21st Century Embellishments

A renovation to meet the needs of a modern family lifestyle

Our New Canaan clients loved their home but needed significant updates to bring their environment up to date with 21st Century style, comfort and greater energy efficiency. They asked Titus Built to give their home an exterior facelift, expand their kitchen and perform other improvement projects throughout the home to meet their current lifestyle needs.

Our clients' life is centered around family and entertaining so it was important to them that their home renovation have a good traffic flow. This home is situated on five acres with an exterior pool and pool house. Titus Built was contracted to design, remodel and build an addition to the home with the inside integrating easily to the outside to work well for entertaining.

The new design features a turret addition with upholstery seating where family and guests can relax and mingle while in the kitchen. The design also flows nicely from the inside to a mahogany deck and to the landscape and pool. The new turret adds an abundant amount of natural light and ventilation to the kitchen with 12' high windows. Other details in the kitchen include a variation in depth of base cabinets; ...»

a paper towel holder designed in the cabinet to decrease countertop clutter; an island cabinet with another paper towel holder; a custom made china hutch; and a full walk-in pantry.

The renovation also included a home office with a custom built desk; a mudroom with custom built dog beds under cabinets; an insulated ½ cord firewood bin outside accessible from the family room; living room renovation with custom columns and millwork; a balcony off of the master bedroom; a basement exercise room; exterior improvements including a wood roof; new windows; and many exterior trim upgrades.

For more information on this home renovation check out our November 2011 Newsletter and read our progress report blogs on Titus Built's website. See more pictures here.

    Sharon Bothwell - Can you tell us some particulars about this home? Like for instance the sq. footage. I'm thinking it looks like 6,000+ maybe. How many bedrooms. I love the turret that was added and the dormers. Is that a functional area now or were they added for aesthetics?

    Hi Susan, The home was renovated last years, so I do not have all the figures on hand, but it is approximately 6,500 s.f. The addition was approximately an 800 s.f. footprint which included an addition to the finished basement and the turret. The home has 5 bedroom. The master bedroom was renovated adding the french doors and deck which can been seen from the rear of the house. And, the dormers are in the unfinished attic.

    What a fantastic home. All the woodworking is beautiful. I have a feeling that the mudroom is as large as my kitchen! I love the idea of the built in areas for the dog beds with the feeding area next to it. Bet the dogs like it too.
