This elegant home designed by Stephen Barlow Architect combines a traditional New England aesthetic with Dutch Colonial features, located in the Goose Rocks Beach neighborhood of Kennebunkport, Maine. This summer retreat is butted against a marsh on six acres in the tranquil Maine woods.

The design is a combination of a traditional feeling with a completely modern plan. Tailored specifically to the lifestyle of the owners, this home fuses superior design with relaxed living. Fieldstone floors, elegant finishes, and conscious layering give the appearance that the home has been “passed down for generations.”

Throughout the interiors, you will find hand-crafted details that make this home unique. Materials were sourced from around the world, including three different plasters that were sourced from multiple regions of Italy; stair railings from Ecuador, and artwork from Africa.

Above: Bringing a rustic warmth into this home is the use of reclaimed Douglas Fir panels on the ceiling and walls, which required a seven-step treatment.

Above: The stainless steel cabinets in the kitchen were individually rubbed to achieve an oily patina. At the island, the Henson Counter Stools are from Arteriors Home. They feature a sandblast antique waxed wooded swivel seat and a natural iron base.

Above: This cozy breakfast nook called the “Octagon Room”, is located just off the kitchen and seats up to six guests. Large windows bathe this space in natural light and invite the outdoors inside. The windows were sourced from Steel Windows and Doors.

Above: In the owner’s bathroom, the exquisite Papillon tub by Stone Forest. It weighs beyond a ton and is carved from a single piece of silver travertine.

Above: This multi-purpose barn is used as a film screening room and yoga studio. The custom-fabricated, spiral staircase leads to an elevated loft. The piece was blunt-carved with chainsaws.
