Historic Hingham Main Street Renovation
At White Oak Home, we specialize in renovating historic New England homes, seamlessly blending timeless design with modern functionality. Our recent project in Hingham, Massachusetts, exemplifies our commitment to high-quality craftsmanship and meticulous attention to detail.
The below Main Street job is a real treat and further gives a reason for Main Street to be known as the most beautiful Main Street in America. The discerning and talented owner along with Heidi Condon designed an interior that truly speaks to the home’s history while allowing a modern punch in wallpaper choices. Read on for some more insight into the build and design.
The Kitchen and Bar & Lounge
We blended with cabinets by Topnotch Design Studio and our carpentry team to make a seamless look across trades and from the front of the historic home to the back. Every small detail was analyzed and done to be true to the home’s historic language. From matching corbels to moldings, we loved every detail and design decision.
Brass fixtures with a living finish introduced a sense of timelessness throughout the home. These accents gracefully develop a natural patina over time, reflecting both the evolving character of the home and the homeowner’s refined taste.
Lighting and Design Consistency: Elevating Every Room
Lighting plays a crucial role in this home’s design. Thoughtfully chosen statement fixtures add personality to each room, while the consistent use of minimal recessed lighting ensures a modern, cohesive atmosphere. This careful balance allows ornate and understated elements to complement one another effortlessly.

Sunroom Ceiling and Flooring: A Symphony of Oak
To enhance the sunroom’s warmth and sophistication, we installed a rich oak ceiling that beautifully complements the oak flooring. This thoughtful pairing creates a cohesive and inviting space, bringing natural warmth and character to the home.
Mudroom: A Harmonious Blend of Materials
The mudroom highlights our ability to thoughtfully combine materials, with marble tile and real wood working in unison to create a durable yet visually appealing space. This design balances practicality with a refined, high-end look.
Powder Room: A Fusion of Turkish Marble and Innovative Design
The powder room is a stunning blend of traditional materials and contemporary style. A Turkish marble countertop sits atop a floating vanity, with wall-mounted faucets adding both elegance and functionality. A distinctive wall covering further elevates the space, making it a true design statement.
Bedrooms and Laundry Room: Custom Design Meets Practicality
As we go upstairs, the bedrooms feature custom trim and millwork, showcasing our dedication to fine craftsmanship. The laundry room is designed with both function and style in mind—intelligently organized to support daily life while maintaining a clean, polished aesthetic.
Ceilings: Architectural Details That Elevate the Home
A signature feature of this renovation is its dramatic ceilings. From cathedral ceilings with exposed beams to intricate coffered designs and decorative moldings, each space is given depth, character, and architectural distinction.
Below you can see the entire addition on the left and sunroom on the right blending seamlessly with the original home. As always, it was a pleasure to work with the Hingham Historic Commission on every detail to ensure we got it right and keep the historic fabric of Main Street in tact.
