Cherry Shinglestyle
Overview
This shinglestyle home is perfect for a beach house with massive views along the back of the house while lovely curb appeal from the front. Upon entering from the front not only do you see out to the back but the complete living, dining and kitchen. A huge 4-season porch complete with wood fireplace opens entirely to the kitchen as well as the massive back deck. The living room has a gas fireplace and built-ins on each side. Tucked out of view are all the functional parts of a home: mudroom with desk, powder room and elevator. A pantry is tucked behind the kitchen and under the stairs in case you want to put a basement in the house this can simply function as access to the basement staircase.
The second floor has an expansive primary suite complete with a wood stove and views out the back, a large shower with curved tiled wall and private water closet. There is a large shared bath and laundry for the two bedrooms and large bunkroom. The hallway has a common area that functions as a small family room.
The architectural design of this house is low in elevation at 22’ ht. for those of who have a wide lot but height restrictions.
Behind the Name: Sweet cherries emanate the memory of home and love. These trees bloom in the early spring and produce fruit by early summer in New England. From deep red to orangish-pink the vivid colors and rich aroma makes you want to be home, sitting around the outdoor table spitting seeds off the deck in a grand competition to see who can spit the seed the farthest in the sand.
Specifications
If you have a wide lot and can accommodate a home wider than the 101’, we can expand the house wider very easily. We can also easily add a basement. There are many options for interior layout of this house without making any changes to the staircase location, roofline or footprint to customize the house for you.
