Carriage Way Greek Revival

Amherst, New Hampshire


When our clients purchased this 1850 Greek Revival residence, the condition of its structures varied greatly. The main house needed rehabilitation and the barn at the rear of the property was totally uninhabitable.

A sensitive renovation approved by the town’s historic commission preserved the home’s antique character while adding historically appropriate interior detailing and trim. The reconfigured floor plan makes new use of a connector wing with a vaulted ceiling, allowing dramatic volume within a new kitchen and dining room. Gracious spaces including a new family room, parlor, and bedroom chambers all support the structure’s historic context while allowing the property to live the way we wish today.
