BUILD YOUR DREAM HOME
100 YEAR OLD FARMHOUSE TRANSFORMATION
This project showcases our latest custom home building endeavor, highlighting our commitment to quality and craftsmanship. Situated in the heart of Baltimore County, this property originally featured a charming but dilapidated 100-year-old farmhouse. We undertook a comprehensive rebuild transformation, meticulously preserving its historical charm while incorporating modern amenities and design elements.
