Framewood

FRAMEWOOD

Framewood was completed in 1915 for Sterling Postley. The stately Manor house was designed by the architectural firm of Hoppin & Koen. The current owner; with a passion for preservation, partnered with Schneider Architectural Works and Kathy Wells Designs to revive the estate. Restoring and preserving the oak clad interiors; as well as, the exterior’s brick and limestone was paramount in the teams approach to the project. Where necessary; rooms were renovated and transformed into new spaces, to better suit the owners lifestyle. A new family kitchen, with home office, butler's pantry and sun-soaked breakfast room was at the core of the renovation. New millwork sits atop hand-scraped white oak floors, Carrara marble counters are paired with a true subway tile backsplash, a variety of metal finishes are present in the light fixtures and pot rack that adorn the ceilings. The bathrooms and building systems throughout the house were upgraded as part of the homes renovation.
