Arlington Cape Cod – Main Floor Modifications

Our clients came to us with two renovation priorities for their charming 1950’s Cape Cod – add a new ensuite bathroom upstairs and open up their cramped entryway on the main level. 

The home’s front entry was a constant bottleneck for this family of four, so the goal was to open things up by removing a large section of the stair wall and modifying an existing office/hallway to create dedicated space for a drop zone. The old home office had dated paneling and bulky built-ins that were removed to create a space that’s more fitting for today’s work from home requirements. The modified layout includes space-saving French pocket doors – the glass allows light to flood into the foyer creating an open and inviting space – a far cry from the formerly dark and cramped entry. The newly refinished hardwoods with updated handrails enables the true charm of this Cape Cod to come shining through.
