Remodeling historic homes tastefully and sympathetically is a skill. So often these old properties have had many lives and undergone many less tasteful overhauls, which require peeling back to reveal the original beauty of the building. It's a challenge the team at Kaminski + Pew faced when they took on this Tudor-revival style home, but one they were more than equipped to tackle.

The team specializes in this kind of house design, bringing historic homes back to life and renovating the original features to their former glory. So turning this upside-down house into a home that would be suitable for an older couple who wanted the space to work as they aged was the dream project.
