Reimagining Tradition: A Historic Hingham Farmhouse with Modern Comforts
An 1890 Italianate farmhouse in Hingham is transformed with a smart reconfiguration - adding a bedroom, baths, and a new kitchen—all within its original footprint.
A custom bench extends seamlessly from the adjacent kitchen cabinetry. Mid-century classics define this casual breakfast nook; a Saarinen-inspired table and curved-back dining chairs rest beneath a brass and white pendant fixture from Visual Comfort, complemented by a brass hurricane sconce on the wall. Custom Roman shades and linen drapery soften the clean, white space.
underwent a complete interior transformation while respecting the town’s stringent rules for preserving historic homes. Without expanding the original footprint, the home was reimagined to include a new bedroom and full bath, optimizing the layout for modern living.
A new oversized kitchen now occupies what was once a series of four smaller rooms, creating a more open and functional layout. By forgoing upper cabinets, we introduced ample storage in the island, perimeter base cabinets, and an adjacent laundry and pantry room, which also connects to a newly added half bath.
In the primary suite, the removal of an old chimney stack made space for his-and-her walk-in closets and a revamped primary bath with a walk-in shower. Even the attic was transformed into a dual office/guest bedroom, complete with an en-suite bathroom.
While the exterior remains true to its historic roots, the interior marries classic trim and architectural details with contemporary lighting and mid-century inspired furnishings, creating a blend of the old and the new. Perfect for modern family living.
