This historic 100-year-old Foursquare home in Ridgewood, New Jersey, has been masterfully reimagined, blending timeless charm with modern functionality.
Clawson Architects, inspired by the area’s rich architectural heritage, led the award-winning renovation, ensuring the home retained its classic Arts and Crafts style while meeting contemporary living standards.
Situated on a prominent corner lot, the property now features a terraced landscape design that enhances both privacy and curb appeal. The updated landscaping creates a seamless connection between the house and its surroundings, offering improved aesthetics and usability.
Inside, the transformation was equally dramatic. The stair hall, a central feature of the home, underwent a complete redesign, earning an AIA Gold Medal Award for its elegance.
The relocation of the staircase allowed for a more open and light-filled entry foyer, improving flow and functionality.
Craftsmanship takes center stage with authentic period details, including a custom-designed balustrade that ties the new design to the home’s historic roots.
