Bay Window and Blue Front Door Brighten Scarsdale Entryway

Scarsdale is a 6.7 square mile village in Westchester County, New York. The small town holds many traditional-style homes rich in architectural character and old-world charm. For one such home, it was time to refresh the curb appeal. The homeowner wanted to replace their front door and the adjacent bay window for a fresher look and added durability.

Seeking both improved aesthetics and durability, the homeowners chose a wood bay window with exterior aluminum cladding. This traditional window furthers the charming curb appeal at the front of the home. The bay window, known for extending out from the house, also adds design interest and elegance to the façade. While the picture window in the middle does not open, the casement windows on the sides do. This allows fresh air to flow through the living room with the simple crank of a handle. To help ensure longevity and durability, the exterior aluminum cladding serves as a protective shield, safeguarding the wood from the impact of New York’s weather conditions. The aluminum cladding resists rot and corrosion, keeping the wood window looking beautiful for years to come.

This replacement project also extends to the front door, creating a welcoming and eye-catching entryway. The homeowners were looking to infuse modernity into their traditional-style home, while simultaneously improving the energy efficiency and durability of their front door. We recommended a fiberglass entry door for the combination of weather resistance, low maintenance requirements and versatile finish options. The choice of a blue front door elevates it from simply a functional necessity to a statement piece. The bold color transforms the home's exterior, making a beautiful first impression.

Beyond the visual transformation, the installation of the fiberglass front door significantly improved energy efficiency. Fiberglass is renowned for its insulation properties, ensuring the home maintains a comfortable temperature year-round. It’s also very low maintenance, resisting warping, dents and rot. It will not absorb moisture, even during New York’s rainiest and snowiest seasons. This ensures upkeep is minimal and performance is dependable.

The replacements breathe new life into this Scarsdale home, combining visual appeal with functionality, durability and energy efficiency. The wood bay window and fiberglass front door achieve the homeowner's vision of a home that stands out in both style and practicality. This project inspires other homeowners in the Scarsdale community to work with Pella of Long Island and revitalize their own spaces.
