New York City, New York Feb 10, 2019 (Issuewire.com) - Westchester Real Homes, LLC Announces Its ALL-NEW 1812 Modern Farmhouse
Award-winning Architectural Designer Invites Media to Tour Unique Historic Renovation
South Salem, NY – February 10, 2019: Westchester Real Homes, a new firm steered by architectural designer Sylvain Côté, is proud to announce the completion of its ALL-NEW 1812 Modern Farmhouse. Originally built in 1812, this modest 1,752 square-foot timber-framed farmhouse is both a smart home and simultaneously a living testimony of old housebuilding techniques. It combines the best of what Côté calls "marrying architectural design with building science," showcasing both vintage framing methods and state-of-the-art mechanical systems while much of the existing wood from the demolition was reclaimed and repurposed throughout the house.
In keeping with the philosophy, "If it’s not beautiful, it’s not sustainable," the ALL-NEW 1812 Modern Farmhouse boasts an open floor plan with a deconstructed kitchen, a dining and living area as well as a 3rd master suite/professional office. The home’s antique post-and-beam structure has been revealed and will be permanently exposed, along with the antique hand-hewn timber and extra-wide American chestnut and white oak flooring. An entirely redesigned artisanal stone fireplace provides warmth and a central focal design element. The 1st level also includes a full bar, a laundry room/mudroom, and 2 bathrooms. The basement level features the original exposed large stone foundation and a 1,000 bottle-capacity wine cellar. French doors invite southern views of the completely private 3 acres. A deck leads to a spacious stone patio and an outdoor fireplace. The upper level features dual master suites, which according to Architectural Digest, is "the hottest new amenity in luxury homes."
The ALL-NEW 1812 Modern Farmhouse is well-situated in the historic hamlet of South Salem, across from a picturesque horse farm. The uniquely restored and renovated Farmhouse, whose property includes a garage and horse barn, follows in the footsteps of Côté’s award-winning Beach House Retrofit Project, which received several awards and accolades, including a Green Builder® Media’s Best Renovation of the Year (2015), earning Energy Star and LEED Platinum certifications along the way. Thanks to his direction, his renovations have been featured in several prominent publications, including The Journal News, Westchester Home Magazine, Hudson Valley, and several other publications. For over 25 years, Côté has been highly regarded for his talent in balancing exceptional aesthetics with functionality. Perhaps more importantly, Côté’s very top priority is indoor air quality which undeniably translates to the health and comfort of the homeowners.
The home is equipped with a Generac 11kW whole-house standby automatic power backup generator
The home is currently available and on the market.
