This Cape Cod home was designed as a new build with the spirit of something much older. Rooted in tradition and crafted with care, it balances timeless design with the ease of modern living. From the moment you enter, the home feels storied, welcoming, and enduring.
Bathed in natural light, the kitchen looks out to the water and is anchored by twin oak islands with stone countertops. Classic cabinetry, aged brass fixtures, and beadboard walls create a backdrop that feels refined but relaxed.
Details such as inset drawers, footed cabinets, and layered textures bring quiet sophistication. Every element was chosen for both beauty and function, inviting everyday use as much as seasonal gatherings.
Adjoining spaces, including a soft white scullery and bold black prep kitchen, provide tonal variation while maintaining a unified palette. Open shelving, skirted sinks, and timeless hardware continue the home's visual language and offer hardworking support behind the scenes.
In contrast to the light-filled kitchen, a deep green lounge offers a moody retreat. Lacquered walls, built-in shelving, and brass picture lights frame the space for entertaining, reading, or quiet conversation. It is polished yet comfortable, with a curated feel that complements the home's more relaxed areas.
