Upon entry into this exquisite dwelling, guests are welcomed by a barrel-vaulted ceiling along with a handcrafted compass inlay indicating true north while the extensive millwork—curved beadboard ceilings and built-in cabinetry and bookcases—evoke the character of shipbuilding.

Above: While the ceiling height in this great room is 11′ 9″, the space doesn’t feel oversized due to the layering of beautiful millwork such as paneling, coffered ceilings, wide trim, and custom built-in cabinets. Together, these elements create a feeling of history and character within a home, making it feel warm, timeless, and collected.

Above: Nothing makes a house feel more like a home than built-in cabinetry and attractive millwork. One of the most practical applications is in a home office/library, where personal collections can be beautifully displayed.

Upstairs, the children’s bunk room features boat-themed furnishings and beds complete with portholes. Floor-to-ceiling windows and doors offer a visual rhythm to the length of waterfront elevation, frame the idyllic views, and render a magical light-filled haven for the owners.
