The dining room of Michael and Kelli Prichinello’s historic post-Federalist farmhouse in Stuyvesant is washed in the natural tones and textures of the surrounding landscape. The couple uncovered the room’s original 14-inch king’s board floors and the tongue-and-groove ceiling beams during the home’s restoration. Photos: James John Jetel
A rear view of the Reisfeld home, formerly the Elling’s Guest House. The Reisfelds worked with Stephen Fitch of Fitch Landscaping and Jesse Bunce of Bunce Property Services to transform an overgrown lawn space that had been plagued by invasive species into an inviting backyard and patio space. They chose pea gravel to surround the fire pit and raised-bed gardens, and created walkways out of stone salvaged from a former patio. Fitch also helped rebuild the property’s original stone retaining wall.

Tyreik Jackson’s 1772 Center Hall Colonial was once the center of a 160-acre dairy farm. The three-acre property features multiple outbuildings, once used for milking cows and stabling horses, which have been converted into a carpentry shop and storage. All photos: Winona Barton-Ballentine
