Manchester Hilltop

This property at the end of a quiet street on Boston’s North Shore is a classic before and after story. The owners purchased the property for the location and always knew they would do an addition and refresh. Their vision was a classic home on the hill that would provide enough space for their family and allow for entertaining. The nearly symmetrical design allowed for a large entry porch with a roof deck above that has a skylight to allow light above the front door. The addition allowed for a spacious master suite that includes a sitting room, along with an expansive third level that is great for kids and includes an office. The existing kitchen was re-imagined into a modern entertaining kitchen that opens on to a large family room space. The property now has an appropriate estate-like feel in its wooded hillside setting.
