2024 Historic Renovation Honorable Mention: Cherry Hill Farm
A town landmark, the c. 1853 Greek Revival farmhouse and the barn it was connected to had deteriorated to the point where the home was demoed to the studs and sheathing and then meticulously reconstructed. Structural elements were replaced, reinforced and leveled throughout. An addition makes room for a side foyer, powder room and back staircase. Due to its girth, the ell is finished to look like a quintessential New England barn. A combination of cedar planks and pine shiplap flank the exterior. Exterior millwork was restored and replicated in new details like the charming veranda. Interior elements were restored and repurposed, including the waterglass front entry, lighting, c. 1910 solid doors and heart pine flooring. A vintage balustrade was sourced for the great room. Brick walls and interior granite-block were exposed. A reimagined floor plan delivers the perfect blend of custom materials, modern conveniences and historic charm!
What the judges said: A charming example of rebuilding with care and preserving this structure’s presence for years to come.
