The home’s exterior got spruced up with a new patio, easy-care shingles, and a period-appropriate paint scheme.

BEFORE: When Steve Snider bought the home in 2010, its structure was sound, but a 1960s renovation had left it looking dated.

BEFORE: “It needed a lot of work to ensure that it would be around for another 100 years,” Snider says.

The kitchen has an expansive granite-topped island and Caesarstone counters.

BEFORE: While the house was big, its rooms were dark and badly sized for the way people live today. The kitchen was small, and the front-to-back living room, probably used frequently in the home’s early years, “seemed too formal and stuffy,” says Treff LaFleche, principal of Cambridge-based LDa Architecture & Interiors.

Snider’s living room features a new gas fireplace with an Arts and Crafts-style surround and the original mantel.

Thermal-paned windows in the master bath and throughout the house are an energy-saving element.

A guest bath features the original claw-foot tub.

In the dining room, stained-glass windows salvaged from a local church add an Arts and Crafts sensibility.
