Abrams in Numbers
Design That Speaks in Results
Woodchester Drive Chestnut Hill, MA
This 1930’s stately home was completely restored and updated with new finishes, a modern layout and systems. Overgrown and in poor repair there where many contractors and owners who wanted to tear down the home. Where others saw a lost relic we saw a beauty that needed to be brought to life. We performed extensive masonry repairs, installed a new slate roof, windows, copper gutters and downspouts.
Inside we arestored the floor to ceiling paneled living room, limestone fireplace, wrought iron staircase and inlaid, oak wood flooring.
On the exterior we restored a brick and wrought iron wall that surrounded the property, built a new entrance out brick and bluestone, created two new driveways and built a three car brick and slate carriage house with an upstairs au pair suite.
111 Gibbs Street Newton, MA
The Gibbs Street project involved a complete gut renovation of a historic Victorian home in disrepair, restoring original architectural details while introducing a modern, transitional interior.
The scope of work also included construction of a new attached two- car garage with integrated mudroom, along with exterior improvements featuring extensive retaining walls, a meandering driveway, and a courtyard-style entrance.
Buckminster Road Brookline, MA
Abrams Builders redesigned and restored this 9,000 SF residential estate in Brooklines Fisher Hill Neighborhood. The project included a meticulous restoration of the property’s historic features with repair of the original slate roof, extensive re-pointing, removal of non-original design elements, restoration of historic features and replacement of the mechanical systems.
In addition, the home was modernized to include a family room, eat in kitchen and large master bath. We added 2,300 SF of new living space which included an au-pair suite, play room and gym, all while retaining the property’s original charm.
Hyde Ave, Newton, MA
Hyde Avenue was a creative renovation that allowed the homeowner to avoid a costly two-story addition by unlocking over 2,000 square feet of usable living space within the existing home. By removing outdated mechanical systems and steam piping in the basement, we created a bar, billiards area, full movie theater with tiered seating, and a dedicated gym.
We also reworked the primary suite by incorporating an underutilized adjacent space through an arched opening and seamlessly integrating the bathroom into the bedroom. The kitchen and three additional bathrooms were renovated, and four fireplaces were restored with new marble hearths and tile or marble surrounds. Throughout the home, period-appropriate architectural details were carefully maintained, including wainscoting, crown moldings, and classic doors and hardware. Exterior upgrades included a rebuilt roof deck, outdoor kitchen, and new patio.
Heath Hill Rd, Brookline
Heath Hill Road was a comprehensive renovation of an early-1900s Greek Revival home. The project included a thoughtfully designed addition to modernize the kitchen, full window replacement, and a complete interior renovation featuring high-end finishes and contemporary details.
The homeowner, a designer with an exacting eye, brought a high level of aesthetic rigor that we were able to execute successfully. Exterior improvements included a new patio, fire pit, and bocce ball court.
Gralynn Road Newton, MA
This early 1930’s English Tutor was updated from a 50 year old renovation to a transitional interior finishes not often seen in todays’ new construction homes. The challenging interior layout was reconfigured to create a modern kitchen and family room. In addition, there was a never utilized 1200 square foot third floor attic with high ceilings which was turned into a large den and bedroom with a full staircase. All the existing mechanicals where replaced with state of the art new systems.
Outside we repointed brick, installed new windows, restored an underutilized three season porch and created a new mahogany deck with French Doors accessible from the home.
