CONCORD, Mass. - The Emmy® Award-winning PBS home improvement series This Old House® will feature a 19th-century Victorian-era home in the city of Cambridge, Mass., and a woodland cottage circa 1935 in rural Essex, Mass., as its latest renovation projects for the upcoming 33rd national season premiering this October 4. The locations represent a city-and-country theme and provide fresh angles that are remarkably different and even contrasting. The Cambridge Project will showcase a renovation for a young family in a bustling urban setting, while the Essex Project is a quiet country cottage that will be transformed into a universally accessible living space for aging parents.

"We have two major remodels this season, each conceived by a homeowner with a very clear vision," says host Kevin O'Connor. "Viewers will find aspects to love about both the stylish family home in Cambridge and the accessible in-law cottage in Essex."
