Every inch of the exterior, from the chimney down to the sagging front porch, was meticulously restored to it's original beauty. Years of poorly done add-on's were removed, while features such as the hanging lights along the driveway were added for safety and convenience.

The Family living in this former show home in an exclusive golf course community needed to grow the home to better suit their lifestyle. With an addition, I pay close attention to the period style of the original home and feel it should reflect those features. This detached addition echoes the antebellum design of the original home and that typical of an out building of that region. The material palette of stone foundation, lap board siding and metal roof, reinforce that decision. The Kitchen / Living Area and loft share a vaulted ceiling that serves as a canvas continually changing as the sun moves across the sky casting various rays and colors of light throughout the day.

Dania Bagia Photography In 2014, when new owners purchased one of the grand, 19th-century "summer cottages" that grace historic North Broadway in Saratoga Springs, Old Saratoga Restorations was already intimately acquainted with it. Year after year, the previous owner had hired OSR to work on one carefully planned restoration project after another. What had not been dealt with in the previous restoration projects was the Eliza Doolittle of a garage tucked behind the stately home. Under its dingy aluminum siding and electric bay door was a proper Victorian carriage house. The new family saw both the charm and potential of the building and asked OSR to turn the building into a single family home. The project was granted an Adaptive Reuse Award in 2015 by the Saratoga Springs Historic Preservation Foundation for the project. Upon accepting the award, the owner said, “the house is similar to a geode, historic on the outside, but shiny and new on the inside.”
