Open Spaces

Old Greenwich, CT
Although a "newer" home built in the desirable Shore area of Old Greenwich, the family spaces just didn't work. The JWH Team redesigned the powder room, large closet, and connecting hallway to the back door to create open yet individual spaces. The new JWH Kitchen includes a coffee/breakfast bar, large island seating as well as a table, and separate work space for Mom and her book collection.
