Originally a builder spec house, foreclosed before completion, our client's desire was to create a home with Old World charm. The front facade was redesigned and the dining and living spaces were expanded for entertaining, thus opening up the residence to views of the Highline Canal and the mountains. The entire interior's detailing was refinished completing the home's Old World style.

Opulent details elevate this suburban home into one that rivals the elegant French chateaus that inspired it. Floor: Variety of floor designs inspired by Villa La Cassinella on Lake Como, Italy. 6” wide-plank American Black Oak + Canadian Maple | 4” Canadian Maple Herringbone | custom parquet inlays | Prime Select | Victorian Collection hand scraped | pillowed edge | color Tolan | Satin Hardwax Oil.

Westchester Whimsy This project was a two phase addition to a simple colonial house in Chappaqua, NY. Challenges for Daniel Contelmo included the hilly site, as well as the fact that the front entry lacked presence and the garage was the primary entry. Phase one added a family room, kitchen and breakfast room to the main level, and renovated a bedroom. New overhangs and brackets draw the eye away from the garage and place the focus on the house. Phase two completed the renovation and added space to the front of the house; this was an opportunity to add character to the bedrooms with a turret, and a vaulted ceiling in the bedroom over the entry. A new car pulloff allows visitors to view the front door rather than the garage. An open-air pool cabana with an outdoor fireplace and kitchen serves as a space for year-round activities. The final product was an exquisitely detailed and tastefully decorated home that integrates colonial and shingle style architecture with whimsical touches that give the house a more animated feel.
