Harbor View Waterfront Renovation …. Work in Progress

May 18th, 2012

Harbor View Family Room w/ Water views

 

Titus Built, LLC is on its way to completing the Harbor View Waterfront Project. This renovation has been a joy for us to work on from the custom interior doors to the imported accessories. The first floor family room has views of the water through the floor to ceiling windows. Sophisticated and elegant features include the coffered ceiling, antique oak parquet flooring imported from France and a handmade Burgisser fireplace mantel.

The handmade family room Burgisser fireplace mantel, imported from Italy, has been delivered and will be installed this week.

 

Harbor View Fireplace Shield Insert

 

To our surprise, Recuperando srl also sent a French iron coat of arms fireplace insert… location to be determined… we all want dibs on this one! :)

 

Harbor View Third Floor Living Room

 

The third floor consists of a living room as well as a guest bedroom. The living room ceiling is of reclaimed barn board and oak beams.  Entry to the living room is through glass pane French doors imported from France.

 

Harbor View 3rd Floor Guest Bedroom

 

The third floor guest bedroom has oak beams open to a cupola.

 

Harbor View Master Steam Shower

 

The master bathroom has a steam shower. Shower walls, floor and ceiling tiles are shell stone circles in a mosaic pattern with honed Crema Marfil borders. Bathroom floor is of the same material and pattern.

 

Harbor View Exterior Front Home Renovation

 

Exterior is finished in white cedar shingles, approximately 2” thick thin stone veneer on exposed foundation and seawall and Ipe wood decking and stair railing.

Ipe (pronounced EE-pay) is an environmentally friendly, exotic hardwood that is naturally resistant to mold, fire, rot and decay; it is virtually knot-free with very little to no warping; and, if left to naturally weather, Ipe will stay smooth and splinter free and will turn into a light silvery gray patina.

Can’t wait to see final photos… when completed, this project will be a stunning showpiece of old world craftsmanship. In the meantime, you can view our progress photos of this home renovation by reading our Waterfront Property Renovation Update Blog.

Harbor View, Norwalk, CT Home Renovation

 

Last October we posted a blog Whole House Renovation of Waterfront Property in Norwalk, Connecticut with photos of pages from magazines tabbed by our clients to help us visualize their ideas. The project is running smoothly and we are excited to show you some updated photos of the exterior as well as new interior selections. We received a call this week from a potential client living in the neighborhood that expressed interest in renovating their home because they have been watching the progress of the “beautiful renovation” in their community. We are grateful to receive such positive feedback!
