Yankee Barn Homes is responsible for designing this contemporary barn-style house on Martha’s Vineyard, a picturesque island paradise, just 7 miles off the coast of Massachusetts. Encompassing 3,098 square feet of living space, this coastal barn home called “Barnstable” offers five bedrooms and five-and-a-half bathrooms. This fantastic home also includes vast expanses of glass to maximize views of the surrounding bucolic farmland.

The project team did a wonderful job of creating a floor plan layout that is ideal for family living and for guests to enjoy. Also on the property is a barn/garage that features a guest bedroom and bathroom on the upper level to accommodate overnight guests. This home is considered a partial post and beam build, as there are areas with the timber frame structure and areas where the builder’s trade-marked True Roof and Wall Panels complete the job.

What We Love: This stunning contemporary barn-style house offers a delightful exterior facade that opens into a luminous interior layout. The project team did a fantastic job creating warm and welcoming living spaces that invite natural light and views of the surrounding landscape. This Martha’s Vineyard farmhouse is everything a family could want in a home, including a guest house for overnight guests.

The homeowners can enjoy this space throughout most of the year thanks to the stone clad fireplace for added warmth. This is the ultimate entertaining space, with a dining table for dining al fresco. Outdoor furnishings around the fireplace offers a comfortable place to lounge and enjoy great conversation after a meal.
