Harbor View

Down a sweep of lawn and pasture, this big house looks like a collection of small houses. Greek Revival-inspired pavilions are connected by a Shingle Style link, uniting various regional traditions. The elliptical ceiling of the kitchen eating area looks like a shallow, tented canopy.

The flared hipped roof line, the house’s defining image, echoes and continues the slope of the hill. The first floor is filled with two large social rooms: a living room and kitchen/dining room, each with a bay window and a fireplace, sharing a central chimney.

The apparent front door opens onto a covered arcade that takes you past a walled garden to the real front door. The parts of the house are grouped around this contained garden, while also looking out to the cove.
