Project Overview

Inspired by the breathtaking views of the Vermont mountainside, this full-home renovation transformed a busy Boston family’s getaway into a moody, warm, and sophisticated retreat designed for relaxing, restoring, and hosting.

The existing square footage was reconfigured to add two ensuite bathrooms for guest privacy, alongside an outdoor shower, indoor sauna, and full gym, while the interiors nod to Vermont’s natural landscape through marble and soapstone countertops, a timber ceiling, and statement lighting that never competes with the views.

Playful touches like a plaid wallpapered dining room ceiling and ski-themed wallpaper in the kids’ room round out a home that feels luxurious yet approachable, inside and out, across all four seasons.
