Sakonnet Serenity

This new waterfront home takes advantage of the topography and is built into the slope of the land.

The entrance is accented with granite stone walls which match the walls in the surrounding area. The driveway is macadam with a crushed stone topping to soften the look. Red cedar roof shingles were used.

Off-set granite walls lead to front entrance off the car park. The smaller cobblestone strip in the driveway is a drain to prevent ponding in the driveway. Gable windows with a shed roof provide natural light to the kitchen. Exterior shingles and siding were given a weathering stain to achieve a natural weathered look. Vertical siding gives height to the hallway connector.

What a kitchen! White oak timber trusses, custom cabinets that mask the refrigerator and small appliances, and glass front cabinets to display special dishes enhance the dramatics. Low voltage lighting is strung across the kitchen to provide direct lighting. The beadboard ceiling has a close scribe to the walls, eliminating the need for any other trim. Random width white oak flooring with a dark stain is used throughout the home.

The island counter is a complimentary color and has a quartz counter top, while the perimeter countertops are honed Belgium Bluestone. The lighting seems to float in the room. A custom fan hood to match the cabinets completes the kitchen.
