Pinehurst Design Build, by Tom Gilday

A Georgetown Kitchen Remodel, Striking a Balance Between the Past and Present

Built in 1868, this historic Georgetown home underwent a comprehensive interior renovation, which included a complete kitchen remodel. To add space to the new design, Pinehurst Design Build removed the first-floor masonry fireplace flue, which required extensive structural steel work to support the upper chimney that extends to the roof. A new spiral staircase connects the kitchen to the family room above. The kitchen features rift-cut white oak cabinetry by Master’s Woodshop, paired with Belgian black limestone and blackened stainless steel. An unlacquered brass faucet adds old-world elegance, while a linear pendant light lends a modern touch. The adjacent butler’s pantry showcases deep terracotta cabinetry and natural unlacquered brass countertops with an integrated sink. This renovation strikes a dynamic balance between the past and present, capturing the client’s vision of a space filled with rich finishes and textures that harmonize with the home’s well-aged elements.
