A New Presence in Back
This stately Victorian home on Prospect Avenue is graced with a huge copper beech in the front yard and all the characteristics that define this beloved style. The front porch and stately front door were designed for a pedestrian lifestyle that we no longer live. Entering from the rear (as we now do by car) requires us to create worthy rear entries that were never considered when these homes were built. Here we replaced an awkward and unbecoming back porch with a deck, arced window wall, and sweeping roof overhangs that honor elements of Victorian style but with a contemporary sensibility.
