When a well-traveled young couple fell in love with the incredible views from this seaside home they decided to make it their own and completely transform the outdated structure.

The couple envisioned a home with the classic feel of an East Coast cottage and the sophisticated design of European living spaces. They were on a tight deadline to complete a whole home remodel that would make the space livable for them and their two young children. The remodel was completed within the footprint of the existing home, built in the 1960s. The home appears dramatically larger and is vastly more functional after thoughtful space planning and design.

The home’s stunning natural surroundings are now central to its welcoming, light filled design. The open space and subtle colors of contemporary aesthetics are balanced with materials and textural details that suggest the appealing character of a classic home. This seaside gem is now an elegant space for entertaining and a comfortable home for raising young children.
