Beach Style Home Exterior

Shope Reno Wharton, together with Acampora Interiors, has designed this multi-family coastal home for summer vacations, situated on the picturesque shores of historic Watch Hill, Rhode Island. This house was envisioned with family at its heart, created for two young families as a getaway to enjoy for years to come. Inside, you will find ample space for both formal and informal gatherings.

Family-focused spaces were a high priority in the design of this home, including playrooms and a fully customized bunk bedroom, a highly functional mudroom to keep these busy families organized, and al fresco dining to enjoy the great outdoors.
