5782 Waterman is located on the point where DeGiverville intersects Waterman at an angle, forming a large odd-shaped lot. One of the most obvious exterior changes that owner Dean Porter has made to this federal style house was to remove the iron security bars and have all of the windows reglazed and rehung. New ironwork now graces the stairs and balconies.
The south-facing second floor sun porch has tall windows protected by full-length modern storm windows, creating extended living space for the master bedroom.
All new heating and air conditioning systems, modern baths, and kitchen have been installed. Part of the living room flooring had been damaged by termites and has been replaced with salvaged flooring to match. Woodwork in this home is sparser than in other homes in the area, apparently part of the original design. Porter has an extensive contemporary art collection that works very well with the light-filled open design of this 1915 home, Lawrence Ewald, Jr., architect.
