About the project

Hanover Street is a historic home in Newburyport’s South End. Our goal was to keep its charm while bringing in traditional materials with an updated feel.

We let the architecture lead. The brick wall along the stair landing stays exposed, and the original newel post still anchors the staircase.

In the main bath, warm oak runs from a freestanding cabinet to a double vanity topped in black. White tile and brass fixtures keep the shower classic, and a freestanding tub sits beside a linen cabinet.

The guest bath is where we brought in more color, with blue tile in the shower niche. The powder room adds marbled wallpaper and a brass mirror.

Our client travels often, so we redid the entire attic and turned it into a skylit dressing room with space for all of her clothes.

Hanover Street shows how we work with Newburyport’s historic homes: respect the history, and update it with materials that will age just as well.
