In the heart of Ladd's Addition, this 1912 Craftsman got a bold reimagining where the kitchen moved into the former living room, opening up a light-filled gathering space anchored by a custom 55-inch range and a generous island with full-family seating. We softened the home's sturdy bones with arched display niches, floral patterns, soft hues, and a marble-clad primary bath with a touch of old-Hollywood romance, while preserving the original leaded glass and built-in cabinetry that give the house its soul. The result is a home that feels both fresh and deeply familiar, modern family life woven into a century of craft.
