House Tours

The gazebo of this cherished 1864 Italianate house on Cape Cod has become a beloved feature in the neighborhood—as much a part of the history of the house as its Italianate elements.

Old House Styles

Romantic details for Italian styles: villa, row house, or in a rural vernacular.

House Tours

Top-notch restoration for an 1881 Italianate, inside and out! Respectful owners create comfortable rooms, a period-inspired kitchen—and even removed a boxcar addition.

Now there’s a compatible bay on the rear, and upper and lower porches have been restored.

Restoration Projects

With better space planning inside, we don’t miss the ugly add-on.

Granite posts are all that remain of a white wooden fence that once surrounded the house.

Kitchens & Baths

A journal, an old house & a matter of time.

House Tours
