Residence
Borough of Rumson, New Jersey
 
 

This arts and crafts inspired dwelling on a quaint, tree-lined street will be getting an addition to provide much-needed additional living space and modernized features without altering its original curbside appeal. The addition, to be constructed at the rear of the house, will feature a Great Room with vestibule entry from the rear garage side. A master suite and laundry area will be provided upstairs to augment the existing bedrooms and the existing undersized hall bath will be expanded to provide a bit more elbow room for this growing family.

The neighborhood is in a narrow lot configuration. The typical early houses in the area are set forward on the property with detached garages at the rear. The challenge for this property in particular was to work within the constraints of the local zoning requirements while preserving as much of the existing 1920's era home as possible.
