Project Reveal: Beacon Hill Townhome

Molly here (taking over posting while Erin takes some time) to share a recent project the Erin Gates Design team completed in Beacon Hill.

This was an exciting project because it not only meant working on a historic Beacon Hill townhome, which is a dream, but it was also a chance to work with the team at Patrick Ahearn again.

The clients are recent empty nesters who were moving from the suburbs back into the city, and the husband is a huge history buff, so it was important to reimagine this townhome in a way appropriate to both its storied past and the lifestyle of the new occupants – blending function and beautiful materials, details and finishes together. 

Off the kitchen is an office/morning room and powder room.

In addition to the kitchen and morning room, the first floor features a light-filled family room and formal entry.

On the second floor is the primary suite and a gorgeous office space.

Being in Beacon Hill presents its own set of challenges – nearly all of the furniture had to be brought in by crane through a window on the top floor! I love the timeless look the home has, with some fun spots of modernity – like the patterned drapes in the morning room and the gorgeous marble primary bath.
