Finding love again can be a
golden opportunity even for a
home. The original structure, built
in the early 1980s had decidedly
“good bones”, a solid floor sys-
tem and decent exterior wall fram-
ing but did nothing to coexist with
the spectacular four-seasons of
beauty blossoming just beyond its
walls. The objectives of the home-
owner were clear; create modern
aesthetics in harmony with the sur-
rounding property; utilize ele-
ments of the existing structure; and
design with an active family in
mind. Enter Baylyn Construction,
the primary builder on this project.
The challenge was to strip the ex-
isting structure down to the studs
and rebuild throughout the winter
months to ensure the family could
enjoy the property in time for the
beautiful Escarpment summer.
Anchored by an oversized granite
fireplacewith drywall detailing, the
great room features acoustical
sound panels to dampen noises
throughout the rest of the house,
while at the same time maximizing
the auditory state-of-the-art sound
system. Custom light fixtures add
whimsy to the modern aesthetic
while rich, blackwalnut floors bring
warmth and luxury to this
airy, open and welcoming
space. *
