Restrained Mid-Century Limestone Residence with Shaded Garden Courtyards
Set behind a private live oak grove in Central Tarrytown, 1712 Schulle Avenue is a textbook study in sensitive mid-century modernization. The residence balances Texas limestone massing with expansive floor-to-ceiling glass pavilions that frame secluded garden courtyards.
The 2021 addition was executed by Austin design studio Baldridge Architects, preserving the low-slung horizontal roofline while inserting a light-filled primary suite and a custom kitchen anchored by rift-sawn white oak millwork, honed Calacatta quartz countertops, and a Wolf/Sub-Zero culinary suite.
Acoustic separation was a primary design requirement: the bedroom wing is buffered by double-stud insulated interior partitions, while Fleetwood sliding glass walls dissolve the threshold between the main gallery and the screened cedar loggia.
