THE PROJECT
Our clients entrusted us to convert their 1950s Cape Cod into a modern dream home with an open floor plan, abundant natural light and high-end finishes throughout. The finished home boasts an impressive 5,000 square feet of living space over three floors, with six bedrooms and five and a half bathrooms. Preserving three basement walls, we elevated the basement ceiling to 9’ and added an expansive 16’ accordion door that opens to a covered patio. The large-format Italian tile flooring and trimless windows bring clean lines to every room. A custom cedar wood screen divides the kitchen and entryway, while the home’s centerpiece is a stunning open-riser staircase with solid oak treads and skylights above.The kitchen boasts a waterfall-edge island, quartz backsplash, European cabinetry and paneled appliances. Upstairs, the owner’s suite includes a spa-like bathroom with floor-to-ceiling tile, premium shower features and a soaker tub.
