Union One- historic renovation and addition in Hingham MA

Over the last 150 years, the back door of this handsome late Greek Revival/early Victorian house had somehow become the main entrance.  A door off a narrow farmer’s porch opened into a small hallway with a tiny closet.  We fixed the problem with a small addition in the style of the original house.  A gabled porch with turned columns announces the new entry.  Inside the door is a comfortable entrance hall with an arched doorway leading into the house.  To the right of the door, a new mudroom filled with built-in storage including many drawers and shelves and lockers for all members of the family.

Upstairs, a bright new master bath fills the space under the new gables of the addition.  Behind the bath, a once cramped closet was expanded into a walk-through dressing room.
