MELISSA LEVY RESIDENTIAL
Homes reimagined for modern living
RECENT PROJECTS
21 Maplewood Avenue, Westport, CT
Single-Family Redevelopment
PROJECT DETAILS:
Acquired off-market, this small, neglected single-family residence was comprehensively renovated inside and out — transforming it into one of the most charming homes on the street while preserving its original architectural character.
The renovation included new siding, roofing, select window replacements, a complete redesign of the kitchen and bathrooms, and significant improvements to the home's functionality and flow. Through strategic reconfiguration within the existing footprint, an additional bedroom and bathroom were added, significantly increasing usability and market value.
The project also involved a ground-up mechanical overhaul — installing a new HVAC system with full ductwork in a home that had no prior central air, along with updated plumbing and electrical systems brought fully up to current standards.
This project timeline was four months from close-to-close.
The result was a fully reimagined home that delivered meaningful value creation through thoughtful spatial planning rather than square footage.
503 Mountain Laurel, Fairfield, CT
Single-Family Redevelopment
PROJECT DETAILS:
Off-market acquisition and full interior redevelopment of a dated Fairfield residence completed within a three-month timeline from purchase through sale.
The project included a redesigned kitchen with the opening of a primary wall to improve flow and connectivity, fully renovated bathrooms, removal of dated wallpaper with skim-coated walls throughout, upgraded flooring, lighting, and finish improvements, as well as replacement of the existing oil heating system with a high-efficiency electric heat pump.
Additional work included water intrusion remediation, regrading, and the transformation of an underutilized lower level into a functional extension of the home.
The renovation focused on modernizing the property while preserving its underlying character, repositioning the home through thoughtful design, improved livability, and efficient execution.
