Martins Modernize Quaint Old Farmhouse Near Louisa
Naomie Doebel notes Charles and Mrs Martins transformed a 75 year old low roofed white cottage on Blairs Ferry road NE near Louisa into a modernized summer home. Wartime construction limits redirected their plans to thoughtful remodeling with wood burning heat, new oak floors, and cedar lined closets. They extended the roof, added a flagstone stoop and green shutters, converting the space into a bright hospitable kitchen and sunlit living areas.

The bee house’s unfinished two story structure now serves as a furnished guest room on the second floor with electric lighting. A first floor workroom and new wider dark red stairs were added.
