Great American Homes: Taste of Tuscany in Suburban Home

Taste of Tuscany
in Suburban Home

Near Boston, MA




Gwen and Marshall Simpkins wasted no time turning a ho-hum ranch house into a spacious farmhouse-style dream home.

At the same time 2,200 square feet was being creatively reclaimed, the house received a visual overhaul to acquire a farmhouse exterior and Tuscany interior — a real coup, considering the architectural limitations of the original ranch.

– Gwen Simpkins, homeowner and designer
