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.

This gorgeous house, added onto and adapted since the 1600’s, is the site of a renovation which connects inside and outside in a way that makes the most of the views and landscape, while creating cozy and sunny space to create and entertain.
