OLD & NEW
1524 Rt 9D
This mid-century split level residence featured stone steps, a three-sided fireplace, and an in-ground pool. Probably the biggest challenge was bringing the aging stairwells up to current building code.
We re-pointed all masonry and installed new exterior railings that were 42 inches high around the entire house. The focal point of the entry foyer and living room was the three-sided stone fireplace and real birch trees which introduced the outdoors into the living space.

The masonry repairs were needed to make the stairs safe.

The free form pool was surrounded by stone which kept the yard’s landscape looking natural.

The three-sided fireplace was a mid-century marvel.
