Another section of the living room features a daybed from Hickory Chair, a cocktail table from Verellen, and a sofa and side chairs from CR Laine.

Artwork from Moss Galleries hangs above the living room mantel, which is fabricated from local granite.

The kitchen contains two islands; here pendants from The Urban Electric Co. hang above the quartz countertop and CB2 barstools.

The second island features the same countertop with oak details to match the cabinetry.

A new glass, steel, and oak staircase leaves sight lines open from one side of the main floor to the other.

While renovating this 1960s Federal-style residence, architect Kevin Browne updated the brick facade with taller windows featuring dark sashes, a simplified entry with a more prominent door, and a lighter paint color.

A floral wallpaper from Sanderson covers the ceiling in a girl’s room, while the walls feature a paper from Innovations; the rug is from Dash & Albert.

A boy’s bedroom is enveloped in a planet-themed wallpaper from Sanderson.

The soaking tub in the primary bath sits in an alcove delineated by antique pine panels; the wallpaper is from Arte.

Duffy didn’t change much in the powder room, but he did delight in finding a vessel sink “from an obscure source in Canada,” he says.

Art Applications refinished the interior of the living room’s Mitchell Gold + Bob Williams cocktail table

Though the Christopher Guy dining chairs are neither pink nor purple but instead a Mokum animal print sourced through Holly Hunt, they were fun enough to earn the homeowner’s approval. The dining table is from William/D/Scott, and the photo of dancer Tiler Peck is by Ken Browar and Deborah Ory.

In the makeup room, Duffy reupholstered a CB2 chair in fabric by Great Plains sourced through Holly Hunt as the finishing touch against a pink carpet from STARK and a Christopher Guy mirror.

In the primary bedroom, Duffy designed cabinetry using an Osborne & Little wallcovering for the door and drawer panels. The too-perfect chair is from Jonathan Adler.

The screened porch’s oversize windows look out to the two-story bedroom wing. The ceramic lamp on the teak end table is from Thayer Design Studio.

Interior designer Meredith Thayer added textural interest to the screened porch with Gloster’s Lima dining chairs in wood and wicker and the Cuff Studio twisted-jute pendant light.

An upholstered headboard, a Steven King carpet, and a bench with a plush linen cushion bring cozy softness to the primary bedroom, located on the second floor.

The homeowners were intent on using natural, earthy materials, such as the durable basalt flooring in the primary bath.

The mudroom has an easy-care natural stone floor and a long oak bench with open storage below.

A fireplace of locally sourced stone is a commanding presence in the living room, where a seating arrangement includes a pair of sculptural Lawson-Fenning Niguel lounge chairs.

The 2.4-acre property had been clear-cut by previous owners, so the priority for the landscape team and their clients was to rewild the site, bringing it back to nature and merging the lot with the surrounding woods.

Black soapstone counters, glass-front cabinets with black metal framing, an expansive island of natural oak, and a sextet of Natalie Page’s ceramic funnel pendants complete the contemporary farm-kitchen look. Awning windows at the sink usher in the breeze.

With vertical siding of heat-treated ash and a standing-seam metal roof that holds an array of solar panels, the home is both low-maintenance and energy-efficient. The landscaping plan relies on native materials, including fall-blooming purple New England aster, that attract pollinators.

“I think antiques are one of the best ways to inject character and charm,” says Smith Coughlin. Witness the store’s eighteenth-century jelly cabinet and an antique portrait.

Faux flowers from Abigail Ahern are displayed on a custom piece from Pennsylvania Farm Table Company.

he primary bedroom is furnished with a pair of gilded table lamps set on nightstands from the Charles Spada Collection.

Even a powder room becomes a gallery of sorts: seen here is a framed Sol LeWitt and, reflected in the mirror, a Joan Miró.

The living room showcases a vast collection of antique English creamware and artwork by Milton Avery (far left, bottom) and Jackson Pollock (above the oak writing desk). The Kathryn Ireland sofa and chairs surround a Mies van der Rohe coffee table.

A hallway showcases works by Marsden Hartley (mountains and cabins), Jackson Pollock (center), and Roy Lichtenstein (to the right of the Pollock).

An eighteenth-century worktable from the Charles Spada Collection serves as an ideal surface for a variety of objects, including an antique crystal-and-silver perfume bottle and a framed work by Henri Matisse.

An intimate breakfast nook/dining area in the kitchen features a Kartell dining table and Philippe Starck Ghost chairs. Artwork by Willem de Kooning hangs above a floating shelf. A George Segal bust perches on a pedestal.

The homeowner’s impressive art collection rivals the stunning views of Boston from the living room. Interior designer Charles Spada positioned an eighteenth-century French fauteuil and a chaise longue upholstered in fabric from George Spencer Design in a windowed corner.

A Phillip Jeffries gold-leaf-on-silk wallcovering inspired the primary suite’s decor. Its Japanese effect echoes the living room Edo screen. A David DeSantis chair sits under a Matisse-style nude by the homeowner’s mother.

One Dalton’s architecture, by former I.M. Pei partner Henry Cobb, led to the primary bath’s custom Ann Sacks marble floor. “The building is a triangle with curved edges,” says Uribe Rubio. “That radial pattern is seen throughout the home.”

The 1930s T.H. Robsjohn-Gibbings mirror in a guest bath also hails from the collection of Karl Lagerfeld, which was auctioned while Schroeder was designing this home.

Schroeder framed the den’s city views with curtains in a red-and-gold Scalamandré damask. Between the swathes of fabric sit a Louis XVI bureau plat and a Second Empire chair. The designer likens the custom leather-and-reeded-walnut cubes, which roll on invisible casters, to “fancy TV trays.” 

The team removed a large closet from the den to create a wood-paneled niche for a sleeper sofa. Schroeder based the design of that couch on one in Coco Chanel’s Paris apartment. The artworks above and in the hall are by the client’s late mother.

In the living room, designer William Schroeder and architect Juan Guillermo Uribe Rubio nestled a Chesneys limestone mantel within custom de Gournay wallpaper panels and incorporated andirons that belonged to Karl Lagerfeld. The artwork is by Henri Lebasque.

Octopus-patterned wallpaper from cult brand Grow House Grow anchors the primary suite with unexpected surrealism.

Layered with twin pendants and personal symbolism in the form of ocular wallpaper, this powder room proves small spaces can hold big stories.

Interior designer Noelani Zervas outside her Tudor-style home in Milton, Massachusetts.

The pantry hides the hardworking heart of the kitchen—appliances, storage, and all—behind a sliding door. Like many decisions in the home, this space is a confident blend of style and subversion: darker and funkier than the adjacent kitchen yet essential to that room’s uncluttered appeal.

Upper cabinets were eschewed entirely in the kitchen, thanks to the stealth storage just beyond in the butler’s pantry.

Zervas gave a late-1800s painting that portrays a fortune teller pride of place in her family’s TV hangout.

A zodiac-print panel by Schumacher transforms the room’s ceiling into a starry sky. The designer considered wrapping the entire foyer in it, but the dining room ceiling “just felt right.”

Located at the back of the TV room, this dining nook is the family’s informal gathering space. The custom curved banquette was a happy accident: it was originally intended for the foyer, but its radius coincidentally wound up being the same as the table.

A zodiac-print panel by Schumacher transforms the room’s ceiling into a starry sky. The designer considered wrapping the entire foyer in it, but the dining room ceiling “just felt right.”

The dining room’s antique side chair—rescued from an auction, where it was upholstered in a tattered tapestry—now has a fresh look in Schumacher’s Annika Floral Tapestry.

A vivid abstract piece by Suzanne McClelland brightens a corner of a serene sitting area, where a Stefan Bishop wood coffee table resembles a tumbling pile of river

A sitting area in the primary suite is all curves and swoops, including the Poliform sofa that sits against the curved stone wall that hides the bed.

A carefully curated collection of furniture includes a dramatic chair of black walnut by British design team Ian Spencer and Cairn Young.

The interiors marry elevated design, as in the foyer’s Charles Haupt glass-topped table and Alain Ellouz alabaster light fixture, with elements that nod to nature, such as the table’s branch-like bronze legs and a pair of bronze leaf vases.

A powder room makes a dramatic statement with its bright-green carved-stone sink and evocative artwork.

The infinity-edge pool has an integrated spa. BELOW:

An outdoor entertaining space offers seating aplenty for frequent gatherings of friends and family.

The wife’s light-filled art studio, minimal, efficient, and playful, looks out onto the meadow.

The lawn is delineated by a border of reclaimed granite and surrounded by a natural meadow that draws the eye to the mountains.

Low furniture with a contemporary profile, including a coffee table of bronze and cast marble and a pair of sculptural Mathieu Lehanneur sofas, sits on a Stark carpet atop the living room’s floor of local granite tiles.

Bog-oak cabinetry, custom-designed pulls, a back-lit tobacco-barn ceiling, and leathered stone countertops give the spacious kitchen personality plus.

A Bösendorfer Model 225 Imperial Grand piano takes the stage at one end of the living room under a micro-perforated wood ceiling that enhances the instrument’s sound.

Exterior materials, including the board-formed concrete that wraps the chimney and roof projection, were chosen for their endurance and sustainability.

The tobacco-barn ceiling extends from the kitchen to a screened gathering area.

The headboard wall, stone on the outside and leather on the inside, cocoons the bed in quiet comfort.

The freestanding tub in the primary bath is carved from a single piece of stone.

Granite pavers set into stone dust and populated with monolithic granite benches turn the home’s forecourt into a casual gathering space. A water feature consisting of a runnel with uplighting for an ethereal glow leads visitors past a grove of honey locusts to the front door. Energy-friendly Brombal windows from Italy allow views through the house to the mountains beyond.

Off the front entry, new oak millwork crafted by Youngblood Builders defines a doorway between the living room and the library.

Wide steps of lawn and stone lead to the terrace outside the l’orangerie at the far end of the “life room” designed by Hutker Architects. “It’s not too precious or manicured,” says the homeowner. “It’s a place where kids like to sit and chat and play games.”

A third-floor space with an arched ceiling makes organization both pretty and playful as the kids’ games and toys are stashed in built-in cubbies.

The kitchen overlooks the backyard patio where a carriage house was demolished. “Its stone foundation was integrated into the cliff to create a kind of grotto,” says landscape architect Matthew Cunningham.

The restored entry foyer includes an inglenook with an array of stained and leaded glass and a fireplace; the original carved oak millwork and beams established the materials palette for the rest of the house.

The vibe is serene and restful, and the view lends a tree house sensibility.

The “life room,” which encompasses the kitchen and dining area as well as casual family seating, is distinguished by a modified version of a l’orangerie that opens to a terrace and the mature landscape beyond. The oak beams are an updated reflection of the original carved beams found in the restored front entry.

A garden shed described as “a ramshackle building in bad repair” by builder Jim Youngblood was reimagined as a spa retreat.

A door in the corner of the bedroom opens to the roof garden atop the garage; the stepping-stone path leads to a puddingstone outcropping and onto the landscape.

The primary bedroom, which is painted Benjamin Moore Fairview Taupe, has a custom upholstered bed from Liven UP Design in California and burlwood side tables from Made Goods.

In the long, skinny living room, a sunny window spot houses a desk and rolling upholstered chair.

Gates loved the Michael S. Smith Inc. Jasper collection wallcovering in the former iteration of this mudroom so much that she had Commercial Wall Coverings hang it again when she expanded the space.

Gates chose Breccia Capraia marble for the living room’s wood-burning fireplace surround. Modern white and brass touches like the coffee table and chandelier pair with velvet sofas custom designed with Bjork Studio in Atlanta.

Gates mixed metal finishes and earth tones for a modern take on a classic English kitchen, selecting a brushed brass hood above the range, beige cabinets, and a slab-marble backsplash and countertop with gray and brown veining. “I love the mix of warm and cool,” she says.

A separate refrigerator and freezer flank the doorway to the butler’s pantry.

A Charles Stewart sectional in a durable Perennials fabric anchors the family room.

Gates played off the green patina of the aged copper roof over the front stoop by painting the shutters and the front door Sherwin-Williams Mountain Road green.

Old meets new in designer Erin Gates’s foyer; she refinished the entry’s grand staircase and tempered it with a contemporary area rug from her own line with Momeni.

A ceramic subway tile backsplash and glass doors on the cabinetry allow Gates’s favorite blue dishes to shine.

The formal dining room is dinner-party ready with its custom-designed table inspired by a French antique, chairs from Chairish upholstered in a rich green velvet, and an elegant Visual Comfort & Co. chandelier.

A cast-iron soaking tub from Penhaglion finished in aged brass takes center stage in the primary bath and pairs beautifully with Michael S. Smith Inc. wallpaper in the entryway to his-and-her closets.

“Everyone who walks in says, ‘I love this,’ ” says Gates of the little bar room off the kitchen, which has a ceiling dressed in a Schumacher tortoiseshell wallpaper.

A breakfast nook in the family room features a café table from Modway, an upholstered vinyl banquette custom designed by Bjork Studio, and chairs from Hollywood at Home.
