Hillside Historic Condominium:  Cambridge, MA Historical Renovation Colonial Revival

This oversized home was brought back to its original elegance by remodeling and renovation. By subdividing this 10,000 SF single family Colonial Revival house, we were able to create two generous independent attached houses, while at the same time preserving the beautiful spaces and historic details of the house.

.

House One revolves around an expansive two-story hallway, paneled in oak, and with a large marble fireplace. Around this central hallway with its gracious proportions and details carefully preserved, ten rooms are arranged to accommodate the needs of a four person family and an independent office suite for the adults.

House Two is arranged on four levels including a large attic where we exposed and restored intricate timberwork. The addition of an inverted dormer/balcony brings in natural daylight and panoramic views of Boston.
