Tudor Revival

— Sea Cliff, NY —

The renovation of this Tudor home demanded respect for its 1920s origins. We sought inspiration in architect Grosvenor Atterbury—who developed Pocantico Hills for the Rockefellers in the early 20th century—cleaning up the exterior with an eye toward authenticity. A symmetrically pitched roof replaced the entry’s catslide roof, which had cast the house in a storybook Thomas Kinkade mold. Slate tiles on the entire cross-gable roof, stonework and half-timbering impart a more elegant demeanor. We gutted and reconfigured interiors, deploying higher levels of finish on architectural details while discreetly incorporating period-sensitive neo-Gothic door openings, shiplap paneling and wood-framed windows painted black to resemble steel.

The front elevation reflects a restrained approach to restoration, giving the home a historically grounded character while supporting modern residential life.

Renovated stair hall with white paneled walls, black stair railing, arched openings, pale wood floor, console table, and artwork. — The stair hall in this Sea Cliff Tudor renovation uses paneled walls, arched openings, a dark rail, and pale floors to reinterpret period detail with a lighter touch.

Dining and gathering room with gray walls, dark table, black-framed French doors, sideboard, mirror, pendant lights, and terrace view. — This former living area was reworked as a dining and gathering room, with black-painted wood French doors opening the interior to the terrace.

Living room with built-in bookcases, pale sectional seating, large wood coffee table, gray walls, dark-trimmed windows, and garden views. — In this renovated living room, built-in bookcases, dark-trimmed windows, pale upholstery, and warm wood floors create a relaxed counterpoint to the home's formal Tudor Revival exterior. The space supports modern family living while preserving a sense of crafted architectural order.

Updated kitchen with pale cabinetry, center island, pendant lights, subway tile backsplash, range hood, dark window trim, and garden views. — This Sea Cliff kitchen renovation pairs pale cabinetry, a central island, subway tile, tailored pendant lighting, and dark-trimmed windows with a highly functional modern layout.
