Bousquet Chavone Residence, Southampton, NY
Once upon a time a carriage house; today a thoroughly expanded and updated 21st century home. None of the charm of its former existence has been sacrificed. The original beams from the carriage house were preserved as was the original wide-plank flooring. The driveway through the old apple orchard is much the same as it was in the early 1900’s.
When the homeowners purchased it, there was 3,500 square feet of living space. Adding a master suite, two guest bedrooms and two guest baths, and enlarging the kitchen, the house grew to 6,500 square feet. Additionally, the basement was finished and a media room added there.
Floor to ceiling windows where there once were carriage doors bring the outside in. And the exterior spaces are plentiful with second story decks and covered terraces.
