A 1795 HOME TAKES IN NEW LIGHT
Bath. Maine
This home was originally built by a Bath shipbuilder over 200 years ago. Here we are now, renovating this home to function in modern times.
KITCHEN. A clean and simple design with soapstone countertops and custom cabinetry make this kitchen a timeless place to cook for a mom of two. A restored AGA range provides that extra warmth to a space that has truly become the hub of this home. This home's layout was completely reconfigured and the kitchen location was relocated taking into consideration morning light on the eastern side of the house.

LIVING. Who would have thought that when construction began, the original 1795 main fireplace would be found, but it had been torn apart and closed in over the years. Working with two talented masons this fireplace was rebuilt and with salvaged brick to match the scale and colors of the original brick. Once the main fireplace of the home, this fireplace now has become the living room focal point. Exposing multiple original wood timbers that had been encased in plaster provides a little view of the hidden past.

POWDER. Found elements like this soapstone sink in the powder room add a relaxed feel to a space that is located off the back deck of this home. A utilitarian sink for little hands to wash after playing in the yard, but also a statement piece that creates intrigue and an ode to a classic well-built piece.

MAIN BATH. The second floor main bathroom has a floating vanity and a quartzite countertop and backsplash. Timbers were also exposed on this floor to show off the 1795 original structure.

NEW SPACE, SAME PLACE
Bath. Maine
This space had been unused for a long time, before the current owners saw the potential to create additional storage for their growing family.
ATTIC. An old home with narrow closets on all floors and an unused attic space, gave the idea to finish out the existing attic into a space that can keep extra items. Use of eave space for hanging, drawers, and shelves now allows the homeowners to use every inch to its fullest.
