Private Residence - North Creek, NY

• 1,700 sqft

• Nils Luderowski Architect

Tucked into the hamlet of North Creek, NY, this Arts & Crafts home is a renovation of an early 20th century farmhouse with all the requirements of modern living. Located on a pristine parcel of 100 acres, this 1,700 sqft, four bedroom, two bath jewel incorporates several characteristics of classic Adirondack architecture, including exposed rafter tails, three-tab shingles, and carved porch posts with western red cedar shakes. 

Locally harvested Douglas fir lines the walls and ceilings, including built-in benches, bookcases, desks, bed plaforms, headboards, shelving, and closets custom-made by master carpenters. The house features treasures around every corner, including a red spiral staircase leading to a private loft, a colorful fireplace made of native ledge stone, soapstone countertops in a cork-floored kitchen, and a screened-in, flagstone patio that expands the living space. 

An Arts & Crafts garage stands a short distance from the house. In addition to locally harvested materials, sustainable elements of the renovation include completely new energy efficient windows and new wall and attic insulation.
