This Capitol Hill carriage house dates to the 1900s and sits in the Harvard-Belmont District. Our clients asked us to remodel the neglected attached structure so it could serve several needs. First, we turned the lower-level carriage garage into a dedicated gym. New windows, doors, cabinetry and paint created a bright, energizing exercise studio with stunning views.
Upstairs, we refinished the space into a cozy guest suite. By combining the existing closet and water closet, we also created a modern wet room with a walk-in shower.
Throughout the project, we kept the carriage house’s historic charm. For example, we refinished the original stairs and restored the existing carriage doors. As a result, old-world character now sits alongside modern use. In the end, the remodel brought a long-neglected building back to life, just as the clients hoped. The new gym and guest suite feel both timeless and tailored, and they respect the home’s heritage.
