Modern Farmhouse
Livingston, New Jersey
Once a classic split-level, this 3,500 sft home has been reimagined as a Modern Farmhouse with an open-concept layout and Craftsman-inspired detailing. Warm natural materials, custom millwork, and layered lighting create a welcoming atmosphere, while new sightlines and generous glazing connect living spaces and outdoor areas. Completed in 2024, this New Jersey renovation blends timeless character with contemporary comfort, transforming a once-compartmentalised family home into a light-filled, flexible space for modern living.​
