Historic Estate Restoration

The restoration of this historic estate resulted in a complete transformation of the property. The client wanted to create a modern & luxurious living space while preserving the home’s timeless elegance. Key areas of focus included the newly remodeled kitchen and pantry, master bedroom suite, den with its built-in fireplace, and the home’s signature, curved staircase. Each space was approached with a commitment to high-quality materials, craftsmanship, and an eye for historical detail.

In the master bath, the team installed custom cabinetry and fine woodwork that complemented the home’s vintage character. The centerpiece of the master suite was the newly created walk-in closet, designed to maximize aesthetic and functionality. These cabinets, made from premium hardwoods, featured detailed finishes and provided ample storage. The master bath included a built-in shower with hand-selected tile, custom millwork, and new lighting, transforming the space into a serene and sophisticated retreat.

The estate’s iconic curved staircase serves as a visual anchor and a symbol of its architectural grandeur. This staircase received a full restoration, with new stair treads and risers custom-cut to fit the graceful arc of the stairwell. Made from high-quality oak, the treads were carefully stained and sealed to match the home’s original color palette. The completed look preserves the home’s historical charm while ensuring modern safety and stability.

The den was transformed into a cozy and inviting space with the addition of a custom-built fireplace. The fireplace was framed with custom millwork and incorporated seamless access panels, allowing for concealed heating elements and wiring without compromising the room’s warmth and character.

The newly remodeled kitchen and pantry became the heart of the home, with hand-crafted custom cabinetry and natural stone surfaces. The pantry was designed with new lighting, custom shelving, and pull-out drawers, providing easy access and organization. High-quality countertops with detailed edging added a luxurious touch, while a custom tile backsplash complemented the cabinetry. Stainless steel appliances were integrated into the design, giving the kitchen a sleek and contemporary feel without detracting from the home’s historic essence.

This estate renovation project was equal parts preservation and modernization, requiring BBCI to bring new life to the space while respecting the home’s rich legacy—a project thoughtfully designed and meticulously crafted to achieve a balance of elegance, comfort, and historical fidelity.
