Chestnut Hill Addition


Location: Chestnut Hill, PA

Architect: Brett Hand Architect, P.C.

Project Type: Addition

Project Description

In the endeavor to expand this timeless stone-clad colonial residence in Chestnut Hill, a new addition has been crafted, featuring a family room and kitchen with a striking exterior contrast of white molding and generous paned windows. These windows unveil remarkable details typically reserved for the interior of a home. Positioned in front of the flagstone pool patio and a recently landscaped backyard, these details foster a seamless connection between the outdoor and indoor living areas. The family room boasts an airy cathedral ceiling, illuminated by an abundance of windows and a central clerestory cupola. The addition of a new, majestic marble fireplace and the preservation of mica schist walls from the original home's exterior imbue the space with a warm, earthy ambiance.

The kitchen showcases pristine white custom cabinetry, harmonizing beautifully with the Calacatta Gold marble countertops. This marble, creamy white in hue with captivating veins of bright amber coursing through it, adds a touch of elegance. The powder room, on the other hand, embraces a more rustic aesthetic, featuring a bespoke vanity crafted from reclaimed timber and glass-fronted linen cabinets integrated seamlessly.

In summary, this renovation and addition prioritizes family-oriented living while retaining elements of classic sophistication.
