Rose Hill House sits, as its name suggests, atop a prominent hill overlooking the owners’ adjacent cattle farm. Drawn initially by the site’s expansive views and commanding location, the owners saw potential in the property despite feeling disconnected from the house itself. The renovation reimagines the home by carefully stripping away layers of low-quality past alterations and idiosyncratic details—including the pair of faux chimneys—and replacing them with purposeful, well-considered interventions. At the heart of the renovation is a new family room, occupying the footprint of a substandard sunroom. Heavy timber framing and a large wood-burning fireplace establish the space as the true center of the house. A new front-to-back roof ridge reorganizes the section of the building, allowing the second-story playroom to open visually to the family room below and strengthening connections between floors. The exterior renews its identity through a series of traditional elements: a generous front porch with traditional detailing, a colonnade, and a new central gable that restores composure and clarity to the facade. On the rear of the house, a new sunroom and screened porch complete the sequence of outdoor spaces. The resulting house exhibits a strong central symmetry that gradually dissolves as the plan extends outward, recalling the compositional logic of Shingle Style houses. The rear elevation makes a clear homage to the tradition, particularly the 1886 William G. Low House by McKim, Mead & White.
