BLUFF HOUSE

Wide porches, fanciful bays and towers are signature features of grand old summer homes. Often dark, unheated and drafty, these houses sometimes seem like white elephants, but sensitive renovation can help them regain their rightful place as irreplaceable architectural treasures. Ampler windows, heating, air conditioning, a garage, a stylistically compatible guest house and an in-ground pool brought modern-day glory to this majestic “old lady”.
