Built in 1952, this adorable Cape Cod reno in Kenwood has the cutest screened-in porch and loads of natural light to fill every room. Husband and wife Adam Shaffer and Erin Miller are the duo behind Cincy Home Revival. The local flippers transformed a Mid-century Modern in Montgomery into a vibey home and renovated a Deer Park home into a Scandinavian-inspired space.

This time, they chose a cozy home in Kenwood with original charm. “We [kept] the built-ins on either side of the fireplace in the family room—they feel much more modern [when] painted a darker color. The hardwood floors, except for the kitchen, are all original and they are just beautiful,” says Miller. “We try and incorporate original features into a renovation whenever we can.”

The four-bedroom, three-bath home sits on a little less than half an acre and features ample greenery and landscaping that frames the front walkway. Inside, light beams into the welcoming living room, where original built-ins bookend the fireplace, leaving a perfect spot above the fireplace for a flatscreen.

Straight ahead, the dining room leads into the kitchen as well as our favorite space—the screened-in porch. We’re dreaming of fall mornings with coffee and summer nights hanging out with friends in this indoor-outdoor space. Around the corner, in the kitchen, the entertaining opportunities continue with a long bar against the window that’s perfect for casual dining. Details in the kitchen include stainless appliances, quartz countertops, and soft gray cabinets.

Throughout the rest of the home, a mix of subtle design choices and pops of color add plenty of visual interest. Thoughtful design choices abound, like in one of the bathrooms, where groovy, earth-toned floor tiles contrast beautifully with a darker wood vanity.

Miller and Shaffer also added more space to the home by converting the attic into a second-floor family room. In the main bedroom, deep paint colors pop against the light carpet and carry through to the main bathroom where a dark vanity and shower contrast the tile on the floor.

“The house is so much larger than it appears from the front,” adds Miller. “I love how private this house feels despite being in such a central location.” This reno is the perfect family-friendly choice, maintaining a sense of privacy while remaining close to all the convenience Kenwood has to offer.
