This custom residence is a timeless blend of Transitional French Eclectic architecture and classic Northeastern shingle style, thoughtfully reinterpreted for contemporary Southern living. Steep hipped rooflines, symmetrical gables, and finely crafted limestone detailing ground the home in a sense of European formality, while painted shingles, copper accents, and a sweeping front porch nod to the coastal vernacular of New England. The result is a home that feels both refined and relaxed — at once stately and approachable.

​

The façade is anchored by an arched copper canopy over the entry, supported by Tuscan columns, setting a gracious tone that continues throughout. Divided-lite windows with operable shutters provide rhythm and proportion, while warm materials and soft textures evoke the tactile charm of historic coastal homes. Around back, the home opens to a dramatic, resort-inspired outdoor living space with a covered porch, fire features, and an infinity-edge pool — all organized around a strong axial connection that mirrors the home's front entry.

​

This design draws subtle inspiration from nautical architecture through its use of crisp horizontal lines, shingle textures, and a color palette reminiscent of weathered coastal retreats. With interiors that flow seamlessly to the outdoors and a material palette that will gracefully patina over time, the residence embodies the character of a modern heirloom — rooted in tradition, shaped by region, and elevated for today’s lifestyle.
