Tour a Classic Colonial that Combines Historic and Modern Elements

Preserved stone and brick from the 1820s barn enrich the renovated living room where designer Sidney Marshman arranged a pair of velvet-covered RH sofas for optimal fireplace viewing. The custom coffee table is through De Sousa Hughes, and the artwork is by Sam Malpass, a daughter of the home’s builder Bo Malpass.

New beams selected to match existing woodwork establish separation between the entry hall and the living room. The light fixture is from Urban Electric, and the artwork is by Charly Malpass (a daughter of the home’s builder Bo Malpass).

In the living room, a pair of Kimberly Denman chairs wear teal mohair fabric. The table behind the chairs is from RH.

Located in the addition, the dining room features chairs from the homeowner’s collection gathered around a table from Lillian August. The light fixture by Michael McHale Designse is among the industrial accents seen throughout the house, while the Abby Flanagan photo injects a pop of blue.

Lucite bar stools from Dot & Bo belly up to a kitchen island topped with antique oak. A wall of subway tile from Waterworks backs the range and custom hood by Wolf; the honed granite countertops are from Paul’s Marble Depot; and the cabinetry is custom.

The powder room combines history in the form of the barn’s existing chimney wall with an industrial fixture fashioned from an old conveyer belt and a sleek modern vanity from Palmer Industries. The mirror is from Serena & Lily.

“The fire pit is on a remote, so the owners can turn it on and enjoy the fire from inside the house as well as out,” says Marshman about a favorite gathering spot, where Barlow Tyrie seating flanks a Paloform fire pit.

Situated in the barn’s lower level, the family room, complete with pool table, features the same post-and-beam construction and exposed stone elements as the living room.
