Cape Cod
Cape Cod homes are quiet charmers, with little pomp and circumstance. The plainly shingled exteriors and symmetrical blueprints, often with central fireplaces, use materials and colors that mirror their coastal scenery.
For quintessential Cape Cod design, we go straight to the source and this hill-perched vacation home overlooking Nantucket Sound. Don’t let the exterior modesty fool you: beautiful red oak beams line the ceilings and French doors open onto the deck for prime ferry watching.
