An outdated split-level home located on a private lot in Westport, CT, has undergone a magnificent transformation to become a stunning vernacular home perfect for a modern young family. The old structure’s exterior has been largely stripped away, and a wraparound porch was added to create a welcoming and attractive curb appeal. All new building elements, including windows, insulation, doors, and roofing, are sustainable and energy-efficient. The interior floor plan is now expanded yet efficient and features simple yet elegant details such as paneled walls, moldings, built-ins, and beamed ceilings. The house is complemented with an outdoor fireplace, a grilling station, and a heated stone terrace, offering an ideal setting for outdoor enjoyment.
