This transformation of the Riegelsville, PA residence reimagines a dated home into a calm, minimalist retreat—designed and built by Sullivan Building to reflect a modern escape from city life. The renovation included a complete gut of the basement and first floor, along with a gym addition and full exterior facelift that introduced clean lines and a simplified, cohesive aesthetic.
Sullivan Building unified the home’s exterior through simplified window openings, refined soffit lines, and the use of Fleetwood steel windows. ReSawn Willow siding was installed in full lengths with minimal seams, reinforcing the streamlined, modern character of the home. A before-and-after comparison showcases the dramatic impact of this transformation.
Inside, the design prioritizes clarity and comfort. Interior furniture selections by Timothy Bailey help create serene, understated spaces for relaxation. The kitchen combines semi-custom cabinetry from Essential Cabinetry Group with custom white oak accents from Cider Press Woodworks, blending precision with warmth. Danby marble is used throughout the home, and a black slate fireplace surround—with an upgraded gas insert—creates a refined focal point between the dining and living rooms.
Built-in millwork by Cider Press Woodworks features white oak with a pull-through white glaze, adding soft contrast and subtle detail throughout.
The Haupts Bridge home now stands as a thoughtful, modern sanctuary—one that invites peace, simplicity, and a strong connection to place.
