Verbank House in Dutchess County, NY

Sep 15, 2020

Verbank House

Architect: Jill Porter

Location: New York State, USA

Problem: How can we transform a colonial 80’s home into a modern farmhouse?

Exterior Solution: A new entry porch/roof, coupled with new board and batten siding, black windows, and modern lighting, give the home a crisp, modern farmhouse feel.

Interior Solution: Staying true to the rural roots of Dutchess County, the interior invokes a farmhouse feel without relying on nostalgia. Rather, design choices draw from a palette of modern and bold materials.

Seeking a country getaway from NYC, Jill Porter’ clients were drawn to this rural property as it has beautiful acreage, a pond, and privacy. Verbank House, however, was in dire need of work. Not only was it dowdy and dated, but the home’s interior layout left the kitchen and dining room divorced from the beautiful grounds.

In order to lift this house out of the early 80s, the clients wanted an exterior makeover with a modern farmhouse feel, and a new interior imbued with sunlight and design-rich finishes: bold and elegant materials, colors, and patterns. Mindful of the overall budget, any changes needed to be surgical, as my clients did not want to enlarge or alter the existing footprint of the house.

To complete this transformation, we first considered the proportions and volumes of the front elevation, as the front entry was dwarfed by the long roof. To this end, we broke up the existing roof line with an a new entry porch and gable roof. Although the change was limited to the entry, the new entry proportions changed the complexion of the whole front facade. New board and batten siding, black windows, and vintage lights provided the finishing touches, giving the home a crisp, modern appearance.

The back side of the house was nothing short of awful, due mostly to an ill-conceived addition. Oversized dormers sat on top of a screened-in porch, unusable due to it’s long, skinny proportions. The kitchen had no access to the exterior, nor broad views of the beautiful grounds. And the closest bathroom to the pool and patio required a walk through the screened-in porch, family room, and kitchen — a long trip for wet feet!

Changes to the back facade went hand-in-hand with the changes to the interior layout.

Long arrays of windows and doors were added to the dining room, kitchen, and former screened-in porch (now part of the family room). The new windows and doors firmly establish a relationship between the interior and exterior, frame views of the property, and wash the interior with sunlight. Furthermore, interior spaces were shifted and reconfigured, allowing space for a mudroom, as well as a new bathroom with access to the outdoor patio and pool.

Interior spaces were designed for family living – neither fussy nor precious, but designed with an eye towards color, pattern, and whimsy. Staying true to the rural roots of Dutchess County, the interior invokes a farmhouse feel without relying on nostalgia. Rather, design choices draw from a palette of modern and bold materials.

Kitchen: The focal point of the renovation work, the kitchen is a joyful space marked by rich and natural materials: custom brass hardware and range hood, marble tiles with hand lithographed patterns, gorgeous slabs of Breccia Capraia stone, and white oak furniture. Upper cabinets were completely eliminated to maximize windows and sunlight, and to give the space an airy feel. Where there is upper storage, we opted for open shelving with custom brass supports — not only beautiful, but family friendly, as the open shelves provide easy access to everyday plates and glasses.

Mudroom and bathrooms: A combination of high and low materials (i.e. affordable subway wall tiles with beautiful pattered concrete tiles), each space has it’s own feel, and the patterned floor tiles conceal the mess inevitably left by a family with kids and pets.

Living room bookshelves: Avid readers, my clients needed shelves for the growing library of books. We designed new shelves — almost 13’ long — with custom brass brackets. The brackets were conceived as a folded piece of paper, and function as both bookends (giving structure and order to the long array of books), as well as the bookshelf’s primary form of support.

Working with my clients was a total joy. They presented me with many of the material selections, and together, we composed an interior that feels true to place, yet unique and personal.

Modern Medieval: A Castle in Connecticut Ranks as the Week’s Most Popular Home

realtor.com

Hear ye, hear ye, wannabe kings and queens. A recently updated Connecticut castle filled with generations of history is the week’s most popular home. It racked up a princely sum of clicks as gawkers paused to take in the stone structure’s beauty.

The distinctive dwelling was built in 1936 by local Freemasons for a New York businessman, and takes its cues from Old World castles across Europe.

Now on the market for $1.25 million, the medieval-looking mansion has been reinvented by the current owners as an elegant modern residence. The renovation outfitted this fortress with the latest technology, but also ensured that it retains its royal charms.

This week’s runner-up is Belle Terre, a custom, bucolic, 38-acre South Carolina estate built in 2016. It sits just outside Greenville and is loaded with gorgeous, remarkable spaces. The estate even comes with a bovine bonus—a friendly family of 13 cows that are included in the deal.

Other properties piquing your interest this week included a Kentucky log cabin with more than 1,000 square feet of outdoor porches and patios, a historic Mississippi home in need of a rescue, and an immaculate midcentury modern house in Kansas, still in mint condition.

For the full list of all this week’s most popular homes, simply scroll on down…

Roll With It! This Upstate New York Round House Is a ‘Rare Architectural Delight’

realtor.com

If you have a love of geometry, why pass up a chance to own a totally round house?

Located way upstate, this Victor, NY, home, listed for $595,000, is a famously curvy local landmark with an interesting past.

For what it’s worth, the Round House all started with a triangle. In 1966, before it rolled onto the property, an A-frame home was constructed on the 10-acre plot. Now attached to the back of the round residence, the original one-bedroom A-frame gives off a rustic and cool ski chalet vibe.

The main structure on the property was built in 1982. No one knows the inspiration for the circular addition, although some locals speculate that the owners who commissioned the place saw a round house somewhere and wanted one of their very own.

The listing details for the distinctive dwelling call it an “incredibly rare architectural delight.”

Quite apart from its shape, the home’s most significant feature may be the windows.

“The vertical windows that are all around the front of it were the leftover windows from the construction of the Xerox Tower building, which is up in Rochester,” explains Wilma Townsend, curator at the Ontario County Historical Society.

Despite its interesting architecture, the owners walked away from the home in 1997, after a divorce. The home sat abandoned until 2002. During that time, the home was vandalized and used as a party venue by local teenagers.

The Round House was put up for auction by the county, and in 2002, a new family purchased the home, along with land, for $88,000.

The current owners completely renovated the interior and have transformed the residence into a distinct and dramatic inspiring work of architecture, inside and out.

It features a stately two-story grand room, flanked by a pair of grandiose cascading staircases. Standout spaces include a large gourmet kitchen, formal dining room, and exterior patio area.

All told, the house has seven bedrooms and 6.5 bathrooms. With 7,500 square feet of living space, it has enough room for a large family. Depending on a buyer’s desire, it could also potentially be used as a retreat rental or a bed-and-breakfast. The town of Victor is situated right between Rochester and the Finger Lakes region.

And if the interiors aren’t impressive enough, there are 10 acres outside to explore. Featuring a private pond and woods, the property is a true sanctuary for outdoor lovers.
