1911 Craftsman Foursquare

The Harry C. & Elizabeth Ewing House

Proudly sitting on a corner in the Historic Irvington neighborhood, this 1911 Craftsman foursquare home is also known the Harry C. & Elizabeth Ewing House, built by Richard H. Martin. 

Its large overhangs and frieze moulding, columns and natural, old growth Douglas Fir millwork illustrate Arts & Crafts style.


1st FLOOR

KITCHEN


The existing kitchen had several interior walls, segmenting it into different zones. The homeowners wanted a more open kitchen with better connection to the yard, providing a gathering hub for the whole family. New box beams and a custom jewel-toned island hide structure and dress up function. Finishes are fresh whites, quartz counters, stainless steel and aged brass, and oak floors bring an element of warmth under custom VWP cabinets.


 BUTLERS PANTRY


Just off the kitchen, we turned built-in butler's pantry cabinets into a full wet bar, reusing the brass bar sink, adding stainless steel counters and mirrored tile for a little sparkle.


 WC


The new WC feels lush with green wainscoting and tropical-themed wallpaper.


 PANTRY & MUDROOM


A pantry closet with original built ins merged with the mudroom for a cheery, roomy and practical go-zone. 

2nd FLOOR


MAIN BATHROOM


Once a nursery, now the main bath and laundry, we created an ethereal oasis for the busy parents with more space. This bathroom has a WC with pretty wallpaper, a spacious shower, a pair of leggy console sinks and a freestanding tub. Luxurious finishes include handsome, deep blue tile in the shower, polished nickel fixtures, Bardiglio marble mosaic floor tile and polished nickel plumbing fixtures.


MAIN CLOSET


We transformed the former main bathroom into a fresh and roomy closet and dressing room. A bay window gives soft Northern light, while plush rugs and a Papa Bear chair make it a cozy place to get ready for the day.



2nd FLOOR LAUNDRY


What was once a nursery became the new laundry and main bath. With a counter for folding, rolling hampers and a side by side washer and dryer, the family has all they need to do the wash just steps from their bedrooms. Bold wallpaper makes things fun, the room gets natural light in daytime and a pretty pendant lights the room after dark.
