This colonial home renovation in Winchester, MA was designed to improve flow, function, and everyday livability while preserving the home’s classic architectural character. Keri Murray Architecture reimagined the existing layout to create a more contemporary interior experience, introducing a dedicated mudroom and pantry, a redesigned kitchen, and a better-connected dining room on the main level.

On the second floor, the renovation focused on reorganizing the primary bathroom and closets, along with updates to the existing full bath. Throughout the project, the design approach balanced thoughtful space planning with a cohesive interior aesthetic aligned with the homeowners’ preferences, resulting in a home that feels both refreshed and timeless.

This whole-home renovation thoughtfully reimagines a traditional Colonial residence while preserving the architectural character that defines the home. The redesign introduces a more functional layout, carefully detailed millwork, custom cabinetry, and refined material selections that elevate everyday living while remaining true to the home’s historic proportions.

The new kitchen serves as the heart of the home with inset cabinetry, natural stone countertops, warm brass accents, and a generous island designed for family gathering. Throughout the house, arched openings, custom panel molding, and carefully restored architectural details create visual continuity between existing and renovated spaces.

The primary bathroom combines timeless materials with contemporary comfort through a fully marble-clad shower, custom stone detailing, white oak vanity, handcrafted tile, and abundant natural light. Secondary bathrooms continue the home’s cohesive palette with handcrafted ceramic tile, integrated storage, and understated fixtures.

New circulation spaces, built-in storage, and carefully restored stair detailing reinforce the home’s original character while improving daily functionality for modern family living.
