Northstar Building is proud to showcase the recent completion of a full reconstruction and renovation of a cherished antique home in Kent, Connecticut. This project was a true labor of love, blending the home’s rich historical character with modern comfort and luxury.
We began with the careful repair and reinforcement of the existing foundation, ensuring the structural integrity of the building without disturbing its original footprint. Interior framing followed, meticulously planned to preserve the flow and charm of the antique layout while updating it for today’s living standards.
One of the highlights of this renovation was the preservation of original antique beams throughout the home. These historic elements were carefully cleaned, repaired, and reintegrated into the structure to retain the soul of the home. On the exterior, we installed period-appropriate siding and a new roof that respects the home’s heritage while offering modern weatherproofing and longevity.
Inside, we delivered a complete spectrum of high-end finishes, beginning with the careful restoration of the original wide-plank antique wood floors. These floors were refinished by hand to bring out their natural beauty and character, preserving over a century of history beneath your feet.
The heart of the home—a state-of-the-art luxury kitchen—features custom cabinetry, premium stone countertops, and top-of-the-line appliances, seamlessly integrated with traditional details. The bathrooms were reimagined with spa-like features, including marble finishes, radiant flooring, and elegant fixtures that blend antique styling with contemporary performance.
Throughout the home, we introduced finely crafted trim work, modern lighting, and thoughtful touches that elevate the experience while honoring the past. This Kent, CT renovation stands as a testament to Northstar Building’s commitment to quality craftsmanship and respectful preservation. We are honored to have brought new life to such a special piece of Connecticut history.
