A Home on the Water


Overview:
A home was purchased on the Miles River in St. Michaels, Maryland, to serve as a summer retreat for my client, their children, and grandchildren. They asked Visnic Homes to expand and renovate the main house and add guest quarters in a former barn and various other buildings.

Challenges:
The owners had a short time span, one year, to complete the project. That meant that we had to work extremely efficiently. My team ordered materials well in advance of the time schedule and managed the day-to-day building, never missing a day on the job.

End Result:
Visnic expanded the main home by more than 50 percent, added a new kitchen, a new two-story library with panoramic river views, and a new radial room complete with a long bar for entertaining. The barn now consists of several bedrooms, a full bath and a kitchenette. This past summer, the home was overflowing with children and parents enjoying swimming, crabbing, and boating.

An interesting note: this is the 7th project completed for this family. Let’s talk about starting your first Visnic project.
