Project Description

Kass & Associates, the architecture firm, meticulously designed the common areas of this historic Villanova home to blend vintage charm with modern functionality. The transformation began on the first floor, where the kitchen was relocated to the rear of the house, offering stunning views of the newly landscaped backyard. The former kitchen was repurposed into a catering space for entertaining. The new family kitchen exudes a light and inviting atmosphere while maintaining the overall grandeur of the home.

The space is adorned with bold molding and cabinetry, complemented by a lively floral tile backsplash that adds playful texture. Unused service quarters were transformed into children's craft rooms, an exercise room, and a fully equipped laundry room. The attached three-car garage underwent a remarkable makeover, becoming a spacious family room with high ceilings and exposed wood beams. A portion of the garage was cleverly converted into a mudroom, complete with a refurbished vitreous laundry sink and millwork cubbies, providing discreet storage for children's clothing and sports equipment.

Beyond the common areas, the master bath received a stylish refurbishment, featuring double vanities, a freestanding bath, an enclosed water closet, and a walk-in shower. The elegant design is highlighted by bright Cararra marble and stained oak floors.
