STEVEN GAMBREL HAD A VISION: IN ORDER TO GET THIS OLD-FASHIONED HOUSE TO RELAX, HE WOULD HAVE TO OPEN IT UP FROM WITHIN

They loved it. And everything else followed: the servants' wing converted into a guest room and bath for visiting grandparents, plus a home office for the husband; a basement wine cellar, gym, and children's art room; a light-washed playroom and the wife's office on the third floor; and a cloud-like blue-and-white master suite on the second floor, close to the children's rooms. Given the vast scope of the renovation, Gambrel and his clients brought in Boris Baranovich, the architect responsible for the house's last significant redo in the late 1990s, to oversee the interior gut work and to restore the exterior, where the half timbers were painted blue for a lighter effect.
