I have been spending some down time with my family at the beach – no TV and limited computer access. Peaceful and relaxing time. Being at the ocean is so inspirational to me that I wanted to share with you this gorgeous home in Cape Cod, designed by the wonderful firm, Hart Architects.
A spectacular ocean front property renovated to support a modern family’s needs. I love the softness of the crushed gravel driveway, so common on the Cape.
The architects were phenomenal, really paying to attention to every beautiful detail. Let’s have a look inside.
The living room is lovely. Notice the deep arched entry ways and beamed ceilings. I love the x detailing on the doors and the soft graceful turn of the staircase. Notice that the room is painted white, but because there is so much architectural interest, the room is warm and inviting. Looking through the doorway on the right you can see the library.
I adore the warmth of an all wood room. You can see a bit of the ocean through the French doors - I could spend hours here!
The family room is lovely of palette of white and soft blue. You can see the kitchen beyond. I like the columns and the half wall division between the two spaces. Its visually gives each room its own defined area, but still feels very open and airy.
Another photo which shows the kitchen more closely. White cabinetry, subway tiles and bin pulls keep it classic but fresh.
A second kitchen area has a wonderful cozy keeping area. Perfect for enjoying that morning cup of coffee. Notice the peaked ceiling – with the ceiling height and the windows and French doors, the space appears much larger.
More French doors invite you out to enjoy the spectacular vistas. I love this little seating nook.
Finally a spectacular sunroom! Notice the gorgeous ceiling and the fireplace – Fabulous!!!

Hope you are all enjoying the lazy days of summer as much as I am!! See you in a few weeks!!

Wow, Love the second kitchen.... Also the choice of color on the counter tops in the main kitchen coordinated with the chairs.... The floor coverings throughout the house were beautiful too.....Breathtaking views the architects certainly took advantage........NICE! Maryanne xo

ReplyDeleteWondering where on the cape that house is! I love the living room and the kitchen, but the front doors are my favorite thing of all.
ReplyDeleteI love your blog! However, due to some computer issues, I'm finding it virtually impossible to read. Every time I open on a post, it freezes, or it scrolls down so slowly it's barely moving. Have you heard of this problem from anyone else or is it just me and my computer
ReplyDeleteThere is so much light in this house, I love it! That's how I'd love my future home to be!
ReplyDelete"The architects were phenomenal, really paying to attention to every beautiful detail." Exactly!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tour Gina. Glad you had a nice break.
Gina,
ReplyDeleteWe've something in common... we can appreciate not only beautiful interiors, but also impressive architecture. This post is fabulous.
I'm so happy to hear you're spending time by the water with your family. I was doing the same thing yesterday. So sweet! :-)
Have a blessed week!

ReplyDeleteThese are the kitchen that I imagine when I was young. It is exactly what I wanted on that time. It is very classical and unique. The lay-out really helps the maker of this kitchen.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like you are thoroughly enjoying your time at the beach...nothing better.

Hi my friend,
ReplyDeleteWhat a place to call home!
Where are you off to now? We are heading to Oregon coast on Monday. I am also stepping away from the computer. Can't wait!
Hugs to you. I miss you!

What a beauty indeed. Love the windows and the keeping area by the kitchen
ReplyDeleteWe just returned late last night from a delightful week on the coast of Maine. Love seeing this gorgeous Cape. I'm a long time fan of this type of architecture and many of the summer "cottages" of coastal Maine. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a marvelous home! Loving the fabulous sunroom and kitchen! Have a gorgeous weekend ahead, Kellie xx
ReplyDeleteWow, love all of these! I especially love the giant tile in the last room. Do you think that is an easy choice for a DIY floor re-vamp for intermediate renovators??
ReplyDeleteWow! What a lovely place, I like the panoramic view and how I was amazed with the entire features. I love it. Big thanks
