The design draws from traditional coastal influences, making it equally suitable for inland neighborhoods or seaside retreats.
Exterior Design & Materials
This home’s façade features horizontal lap siding in white, complemented by black shutters and a contrasting dark roof. The symmetry of its front elevation, brick entry steps, and central doorway enhance its timeless Cape Cod proportions. Subtle trim details and a single dormer window add balance and architectural interest.
