The room benefits from much more natural light, thanks to the open plan and new windows.

The wall between the dining room and kitchen was opened up to increase the flow and make room for an extra-long island that totals fifty linear feet of counterspace. At the center of the plan is the slatted woodwork that covers a core for the kitchen storage, a bathroom, and a laundry room. “That became a wonderful opportunity for a beautiful wood feature,” says Maziarski.

The original fireplace was painted charcoal to sync with the exterior and make for a dramatic focal point.

Flagstone flooring throughout is a nod to the home’s midcentury era. All of the windows had to be replaced, but many were kept in the same spot as the original.

A 1000xBetter removed the wrought iron and striped awning, and covered the façade in wood, leaving the distinct midcentury elements intact.

The storage extends to the wall, and an office space is tucked on the other side of the staircase. No baseboard or trim underscores “where materials come together and form a reveal between them, rather than having an additive baseboard,” says Montgomery. “It’s about a reduction and elimination to try to create a cleaner visual for your eye.”
