Rockmoor Home

This Ford Strei Home Remodel on Rockmoor in Tarrytown started life as a typical ranch style home with a very uninspiring floor plan, the typical long and shallow front porch and very little character.

​

Tim Cuppett Architects designed the remodel around a specific list of requests made by the new owners. The wish list included keeping the existing footprint (add on only as needed to increase floor space), keep it a single story, create a large / dining / kitchen / family room where everyone can gather and be together. Plus they wanted to add a nice pool, screen porch and rear patio area to expand into the outdoors.

​

Project Overview

The design was finalized and the house was partially demolished. Portions of existing walls and the roof were saved and remained part of the new design. A large portion of the existing brick veneer was also salvaged.

​

An addition to the rear of the house allowed for a much larger kitchen, dining and screen porch area. The ceiling height of the formal portion of the house received a taller ceiling with a gently curved transition where the wall meets the ceiling.

​

Modern appliances, and new systems were installed to bring this house up to today’s standards. An addition to the front allowed for the creation of a guest bedroom and bathroom and allowed for a revised front porch, and entry area with an overhead steel arbor.

​

The interior features hardwood floors throughout the house with 4 full baths and a powder bath. The backyard received a new layout including a large pool and spacious deck area along with beautiful landscaping from S.B. Landscaping.
