A summer residence for a large family gets a new kitchen, two and a half baths, an outdoor shower and deck, a mudroom and a study/guest space. Inspired by the summer kitchen of this former boarding house, the character of the new space echoes the light, Stick-into-Shingle style lines of the original house. Notice the beaded board ceilings in the study and large bath, which evoke the airiness of a cabana. The kitchen went from a dark-wood panelled dead-end with one window to a light-filled center of the house, complete with a custom-made table for breakfast and other activities.

An extensive exterior renovation including the addition of a wrap-around porch and terraces stepping down to a new pool gave this family beautiful and functional entertaining spaces which frame a stunning view of the Mount Hope bridge.

The 70’s kitchen in this house was refashioned as a cook’s kitchen, with a baking island and space for casual dining. A china cabinet and plate racks, as well as shelves which span a window are among the custom details.
