E26 | First Period Gambrel | A Period Restoration

A little over a year ago, renovation began on the 1720 first period home. Tremendous care went into preserving the home's history while making modern improvements. Once a modest gambrel style house with a towering two-story ell addition, the house is now three buildings - the original gambrel house, a new two-story primary suite addition, and a new single-story ell that connects the two spaces.
