… Welcome to Nantucket that is contemporary. That is the center of your home, created for assembling, cooking and amusing. The area floods with light.

And amid the clean, mono-chromatic environment come pastoral touches in the fam’s lively set of bowls (in the center island and obvious shelving) and classic weather vanes in the attic.
Three parallel isle-like spaces form an integral kitchen-dining area, but smart built-ins conceal all that yells “kitchen.” Oven, micro, coffeemaker, toaster, etc. hideaway in the column at the conclusion of the open shelving. “You never actually feel like you are in the kitchen,” Kotchen states. “You only feel as if you are in the the area.”

The courtyard functions as a thoroughfare that is central. Raised unusual and bluestone, Flattopped field stones behave like stepping stones over a water-like landscape.
White barndoors open to the courtyard from your reading lounge. Two copper spillways re-circulate water in to fountains on a mattress of Nantucket shore sand. A patio established from VivaTerra does double-duty as sculpture.

The learn master suite seems out onto the remaining entire property and forms the aspect of the courtyard. The space is brought heavens to by lights in the dormers, and twiggy castiron side-tables include some appeal that is natural.
