July 24, 2023 Coco Admin Alt

Who doesn’t love a virtual tour of a historic home renovation? We know we do! The COCOCOZY team scrolled upon this unique family home remodel right outside of New York City. The owners of the Rye Colonial Revival brought on the acclaimed Elizabeth Roberts architects team to bring their dream to life. The home is a unique three-story with Colonial Revival house architecture. First built in the early 1900s, the property finds its origins nestled on the scenic grounds of a historic country club. ERA has masterfully reimagined and reorganized this timeless piece of architecture, transitioning it into a comfortable, light-filled home suitable for a bustling family of six.

The Team Behind the Rye Country House

The creative minds behind this country house transformation include Elizabeth Roberts, Josh Lekwa, John Bassett, and Jamie Perez, whose collective vision and dedication have breathed new life into this historic New York property. The Colonial Revival house exterior was restored and every single building system within the house was completely replaced to improve the functionality of the house. A true home makeover inside and out. 

A Central Kitchen Remodel: Navy Blue Modern Kitchen

One of the critical components of this home renovation project was the central kitchen remodel. Most kitchen spaces often serve as the heart of the home, facilitating family bonding and interactions. ERA gave top priority to this essential feature, showcasing the evolving dynamics of modern home design.

Elegant Entryway: Function Meets Aesthetic

With practicality and convenience in mind, the home’s vertical and entry circulation was thoroughly reconsidered. ERA incorporated a new stairway, strategically located near the family entrance and garage. This design allows for easy access. The entryway has ample storage space that caters to the practical needs of a busy family lifestyle. It provides enough room for shoes, backpacks, and sports gear.

Transforming Spaces: From Dining Room to Eat-In Kitchen

The reimagined stairway seamlessly connects the different layers of the home, leading to the central kitchen, and then up to the tranquil bedrooms on the upper floors, signifying a harmonious blend of functional design and aesthetic appeal.
