Sagamore Beach Addition

Instead of altering the basic footprint of this Phillips Road home, more space was added by raising the roof and improving upon the existing second floor. Walls were raised to full height (7 feet) and the second floor space over an existing front addition increased the total square footage of usable space. One bedroom in the original structure was transformed to a large bedroom with walk-in closets and master bath with tile shower. A second floor family room with fireplace, screened in porch with deck and incredible views made the most of the total existing space. Because the structure was close to the water, the owners entrusted R.W. Anderson to completely handle the complicated permitting process which involved building permits, conservation land requirements and historic commission permissions that needed to be obtained prior to construction.

Kitchen remodel / Sandwich

The traffic flow of this Sandwich kitchen was in need of improvement, and after meeting with the homeowners to discuss the challenges the current design posed, we went to work. First, a doorway was shifted from the center to side of the kitchen and a picture window was added in the back of the house to open the space giving a wonderful view from the front of the house to the gardens in the back. Installing a new stairway would accomplish two goals: The first, giving the redesigned kitchen a nice pantry with storage, and the second, allowing interior access to the basement which they did not have before. Old cabinetry and formica countertops were completely replaced with granite and birch cabinetry in a white finish. Recessed lighting was also added for a more contemporary look. Custom millwork, central a/c, a the addition of a 6x8 cedar closet and pull-down stairway for attic access were among some of the other improvements made.

New Seabury renovation/spruce-up

The owners approached us wanting a major renovation in order to freshen up the look of their home that had been built in the 1980’s. Updates included replacing large, outdated casement windows with energy efficient double-hung paned windows from the A-Series Anderson line. Skylights and sliders were also replaced—the homeowners opting to change one out to a triple mullion in order to make the look more contemporary. Grey panes added character and warmth.

New electrical and lighting fixtures were done throughout the house and bathrooms were remodeled using existing vanities with new counter tops. New tile floors and fixtures complete with a large soaking tub were also added, as was a fantastic glass shower enclosure done with the help of Falmouth Glass. Shepley wood products supplied the materials we needed to complete new interior trim, doors, and floors.

Because the basic flow of the kitchen did not service the homeowner’s needs, a peninsula was added, to define the space and with collaboration between builder, owner and Triple Crown Cabinetry, new cabinetry was added and other parts were replaced with much attention paid to matching the patina and color of the existing cabinetry. Counter tops were completely replaced with cost effective Silestone in butterscotch.

The property was transformed, and the owners were thrilled with their new home!
