Wood Bay Window Adds Curb Appeal to Essex Home

The small suburban town of Essex, Vermont is home to a variety of traditional homes. We met with a pair of retired homeowners who were looking to update the exterior of their split-level ranch house. They wanted a custom bay window to add curb appeal and invite more natural light into their living room. We recommended a Pella Lifestyle Series bay window to help elevate the look of their home.

Popular in the Northeastern region, bay windows are a staple of traditional homes. Our experts created a larger opening in the living room to install the new bay window. The addition of the window not only offers a nice focal point to the home’s exterior, but it also matches the white windows on the rest of the house. Unlike the other windows on the front of the home, the bay window has color-matched grilles in a traditional pattern, adding design interest. These are between-the-glass grilles which keep them protected from damage and dust.

The interior of the window is stained to match the original trim work throughout this home. It complements the flooring beautifully as well. With a rich dark stain, the wood matches the front door and contrasts the light walls. This bay window adds warmth and brings an inviting focal point to the area. An increase in window depth also creates a small shelf where plants or small items can be displayed.

Pella Lifestyle Series windows feature aluminum-clad exteriors built to resist rotting, fading and chalking. These windows are meant to be low-maintenance and offer lasting beauty. Designed to withstand drastic temperature changes, the windows are tested for performance and durability in both extreme hot and cold. Pella Lifestyle Series windows are made to offer quality while being dependable and easy to use.

We enjoyed working with the homeowners of this Vermont home to turn their home into a sun-filled retiree’s dream. With a new bay window, this home has beautiful curb appeal and much more natural light shining into the living space. Built to last, this window is a statement of traditional aesthetics and elevated design.
