Tour of Homes: Renovated Home on Hanover
Six apartments. Plumbing everywhere. Tons of extra walls. It sounds like a renovation nightmare, but for owners Sam & Noelle Dick, it made their renovation decisions much easier. There was no doubt that they'd just knock out everything and start from scratch in almost every space in the storied old House on Hanover.
Working with j. stuart hurt, CID of House by JSD Designs, Sam & Noelle knew they wanted to create a space that featured deep, warm tones and offered them cozy living space. Working in "shifts" on the home, portions of the renovation were completed in six month cycles allowing them to live in the house as work was being done.
The television/reading/dining space was originally part of a massive back porch. Custom cabinetry was built in to allow great storage and display. The love seat was chosen because it is meant to be a sitting area just for Sam & Noelle. The carpet divides up the space and is removable to allow access to the plumbing below.
A small window seat offers a quiet reading nook and elegant retreat. Draperies make the space feel truly luxurious and toasty. Cushions give comfort while the light fixture casts a warm, relaxing glow. Built-in shelving and custom cabinetry boasts ample storage for the family's
many books, as well as Sam and his father's Emmy awards. Sam also proudly displays his many medals
from triathlons.
The custom-made dining table is a rustic, gorgeous focal point. hurt didn't have to look far for the captains chairs that flank the table's ends--they were his! Noelle loved them and they suited the space perfectly, so hurt was happy to part with them.
The pantry is original to the house. The granite countertops, stainless steel appliances and custom-built cabinetry, however, are thoroughly modern. A miniature gas fireplace makes the space a cozy gathering spot for holiday cooking.
The master bedroom features soothing tones. The hardwood flooring throughout the house is original.
The master bathroom is warm and inviting. The claw foot tub, combined with the inset fireplace, calls a great ending to the day.
The guest suite offers total comfort for company. An original door on a barn track leads into the hallway, which features exposed ductwork and brick for a loft feel.
The guest bedroom features deep blue-green walls and dark wood fixtures. Plenty of storage is built into the space.
The guest bathroom pairs black marble and a bold orange paint to create an awesome visual impact. Invigorating yet spa-like, the custom-designed shower is a favorite of the couple and their guests. The floor of the shower is created using a mosaic tile featuring copper, which will petina over time.
