Located on iconic Cary Street, the 1960s brick home was completely renovated
over a one-and-a-half-year period. The California-inspired ranch has an open
floor plan enhanced by an all-glass rear, allowing for an intimate relationship
with the outdoor living space and a seamless transition in and out of the home.
Landscape designer Marcia Fryer was brought on at the start of the renovation
as the hardscape and landscaping were done first.
“The owner was downsizing, has older children, and wanted a departure from
her previous home with a contemporary feel. She has a refined, sophisticated,
and evolved collection of antiques, contemporary furniture, and art that sets the
tone, and mixes well with the new architecture of the home,” says Marcia.
