home of distinction Alternately, Kersting’s goal for the redesign of the home’s interior was that it offer a more functional and effi-cient footprint. To this end, the main-living level consisting of the kitchen, dining and family rooms has been completely reconfigured with ceilings raised for a more open and spa-cious area. Immediately down the hall from this gathering spot — and paces past the nauti-cally inspired remodeled staircase — the original street-side upstairs porch was reconstructed as a sun and reading room. Natural light and a nautically inspired stairway greet guests upon entry into the home’s first-level foyer. Right: The home’s once-dark kitchen is reconfigured to offer an open footprint and airy aesthetic. A one-of-a-kind tile painting of Figure Eight as backsplash over the stovetop maps the home’s island location. 88 WBM september 2014
