Livingston St

Residence

This project involves the renovation and expansion of a historic home in Rhinebeck, NY, originally built circa 1900. The existing 2100-square-foot home underwent a thoughtful renovation and expanded the historic footprint with a 900-square-foot addition. In addition to the home’s interior updates, the project includes the creation of a new outdoor living space featuring a pool and pool house. The pool will be directly connected to the first-floor living space of the new addition, enhancing the indoor-outdoor flow and providing a seamless transition between the home’s interior and exterior spaces.

The original home, a well-preserved example of early 20th-century architecture, features classic design elements typical of the period, including clapboard siding, hardwood floors, and ornate woodwork. The renovation respects the historical significance of the home while making necessary updates to accommodate modern living. The new addition and outdoor enhancements are designed to complement the original architecture, ensuring a harmonious blend of old and new.

The project will also involve reconfiguring the existing interior layout to create a more open, functional floor plan. This includes updating the kitchen and bathrooms, enhancing natural light, and improving the flow between rooms. The new addition will house a modern kitchen and family room, providing a spacious area for gatherings and everyday living, while the original structure will be restored to serve as the formal living and dining areas, maintaining their historical character. 

The renovation, addition, and outdoor enhancement project in Rhinebeck, NY, represents a perfect blend of historical preservation and modern living. By thoughtfully integrating a new addition with the original home and creating a seamless connection between the interior spaces and the new pool area, the project provides the homeowners with a beautiful, functional living environment that honors the past while embracing the future. The finished home will be a true reflection of the unique character and charm of Rhinebeck, enhanced by modern design and amenities that make it ideal for contemporary living.
