Embracing a breezy beach-style aesthetic, this home maintains the integrity of the local shingle-style architecture, while offering a fresh and inviting place to relax.

After an extensive renovation and re-decoration of the property, this four-bedroom, four-and-a-half bathroom beach pad showcases a perfect balance of modern and traditional design elements.

This cozy inglenook behind the living room shares the same chimney, situated on an angle. The walls are clad in V-groove boards painted in a deep blue shade with a rubbed, weathered look.

Linen twill slipcovered furnishings allow for relaxed living and easy cleaning for the beach lifestyle. The paintings allow splashes of color into the space, while French doors on the right bring nature inside.

The ceiling beams run the span of the spaces, from kitchen to dining to living room, helping to create unity. With all of the wood flooring (hand-scraped reclaimed white oak), area rugs help to break up the spaces and add texture.

The shutters add a casual feel to the home, while at the same time closing the kitchen off from the rest of the home when entertaining guests.
