The beautiful, old barn on this Topsfield estate was at risk of being demolished. Before approaching Mathew Cummings, the homeowner had met with several architects about the structure, and they had all told her that it needed to be torn down. Thankfully, for the sake of the barn and the owner, Cummings Architects has a long and distinguished history of preserving some of the oldest timber framed homes and barns in the U.S. Once the homeowner realized that the barn was not only salvageable, but could be transformed into a new living space that was as utilitarian as it was stunning, the design ideas began flowing fast. In the end, the design came together in a way that met all the family’s needs with all the warmth and style you’d expect in such a venerable, old building. On the ground level of this 200-year old structure, a garage offers ample room for three cars, including one loaded up with kids and groceries. Just off the garage is the mudroom – a large but quaint space with an exposed wood ceiling, custom-built seat with period detailing, and a powder room. The vanity in the powder room features a vanity that was built using salvaged wood and reclaimed bluestone sourced right on the property. Original, exposed timbers frame an expansive, two-story family room that leads, through classic French doors, to a new deck adjacent to the large, open backyard. On the second floor, salvaged barn doors lead to the master suite which features a bright bedroom and bath as well as a custom walk-in closet with his and hers areas separated by a black walnut island. In the master bath, hand-beaded boards surround a claw-foot tub, the perfect place to relax after a long day. In addition, the newly restored and renovated barn features a mid-level exercise studio and a children’s playroom that connects to the main house. From a derelict relic that was slated for demolition to a warmly inviting and beautifully utilitarian living space, this barn has undergone an almost magical transformation to become a beautiful addition and asset to this stately home.

This new mudroom entry ties the garage to the kitchen and a stairway to the basement gym. Due to watershed zoning restrictions, we had to keep the addition's footprint small. It also contains a sunny breakfast room leading to a renovated kitchen. Photo: (c) Jeffrey Totaro 2020

There never seems to be enough room for outdoor gear. Even a modest mudroom, however, goes a long way in introducing order to what is often a messy jumble of coats, boots, and backpacks. A mix of open and closed storage - cubbies for shoes, hooks on the walls, drawers for off season items - provide multiple storage solutions. Even a recycling cabinet found a place in this hardworking corner of the kitchen. Eric & Chelsea Eul Photography

Locker system for family of four. Cildren and adult storage/seating. Busy family needed easy access to outerwear, book bags, winter clothing and footwear. Baskets provide storage for hats, gloves, eletronics and keys. Beautiful colors welcome the family home. Photo: Cole Photography

Custom cabinetry in the side entry's mudroom allows for each family member to have their own designated locker. A built-in bench seat with shoe drawers underneath make it a cozy spot in which to put on shoes.

We discovered wood paneling behind damaged drywall and decided to embrace it and paint it with a deep navy. New slate tiles and durable carpeting on the stairs as well as lots of coat hooks makes this a functional yet attractive landing space for this family of four.

The customer needed simple way to store his bike and get it off the ground in his mudroom. The shelf acts as a catch-all for wallets, keys, glasses, etc.
