Excerpt from the article:


"Adrienne Shishko and her husband made a smart move as first-time homeowners: They invested in a two-family. They had renters for years, “which gave us flexibility in our careers,” says Shishko, a lawyer turned fitness trainer turned artist. As their family grew, they absorbed the full second floor, and later, the rest of the house. That said, they never properly converted the Brookline home into a single-family. Each level felt disconnected from the next, and there were extra sets of stairs.


As newly-minted empty nesters, the couple was ready to remedy those issues along with others, including the rabbit warren configuration of living spaces and the lack of sunlight. They called upon architect Derek Bloom to instill a modern sensibility into the historic framework in a way that suited their lifestyle moving forward, as well as highlighted art by Shishko, her mother and grandmother, and others."
