Renovating a Foxcroft Estate
Whole-home renovation is Foxcroft's dominant construction category. Done well, it preserves the neighborhood's character while quietly updating an estate for another fifty years of life.
The Foxcroft Renovation, Defined
A Foxcroft whole-home renovation is typically far more than cosmetic. It routinely includes new mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems; kitchen and primary-suite reconfiguration; envelope updates (roof, windows, exterior refresh); and — increasingly — the addition of pool houses, guest suites, or dedicated wellness spaces.
Kitchens
Foxcroft's original kitchens were compartmented, service-oriented spaces. Renovations almost always open them to informal living, add a scullery or catering kitchen, and specify honed marble, painted oak, unlacquered brass, and a professional-grade range.
Primary Suites
Original primary suites are often expanded — dressing rooms, dual bathrooms, and connected sitting rooms are common. Care is taken to keep new work legible as an addition, not a scar.
Systems
Whole-home renovation is the natural moment to introduce integrated smart-home systems. Peters Audio Video routinely partners with Peters Custom Homes on Foxcroft renovations, coordinating audio distribution, lighting control, motorized shades, network design, and security.
Additions & Outbuildings
Guest houses, pool pavilions, detached garages, and studio outbuildings extend a Foxcroft estate meaningfully. The best examples respect the original home's roofline and material palette.
