Sweeten renovated a nearly 100-year-old English house in Bronxville, N.Y., turning an outdated and awkward layout into a modern haven. The classic English Tudor home was transformed with an open-concept kitchen, a custom mudroom and thoughtfully updated bathrooms. Creating an open layout on the first floor involved eliminating the wall between the dining room and kitchen. The new open-concept kitchen included a large center island for entertaining, providing an anchor between the dining space and the cooking area.
The quartz marble design for the countertops contrasted with the custom wood island stained to match the molding throughout the house. The Dutch back door, off on one side of the kitchen, was added to facilitate indoor-outdoor living for the warm-weather months.
The mudroom, a narrow space adjacent to the kitchen, was crafted in custom millwork, a low bench and four storage cubbies beneath the bench provide storage for each member of the growing family. The mudroom was requested by couple to be added in as a space for their family and guests to freshen up conveniently. The addition still adheres the essence of the classic, almost-century-old Bronxville house.
