Elizabeth Roberts Architecture is responsible for this classic farmhouse renovation of a 19th-century clapboard house located in the Orient Historic District on Long Island, New York. This gable-roofed dwelling is surrounded by acres of fruit trees since the site was originally an orchard. There was also an original barn on the property, which was transformed into a pool house and guest quarters.
A sunroom at the back of this two-story farmhouse became the focal point of the main level layout, revitalized with cement tile flooring, Southern Yellow Pine paneling, and a wood-burning stove for year-round use. This unique space was strategically positioned just off the generous kitchen, an open and airy hub where large groups can gather and cook together.
What We Love: This classic farmhouse renovation provides unique connections between spaces for a variety of interactions between homeowners and their guests. Reimagined living spaces are warm and welcoming, allowing for a timeless home for generations to come. We are especially loving the bright and airy kitchen, ideal for gourmet cooking with loved ones.
