Over the years, McPhee Associates has had the privilege of building and remodeling some amazing Cape Cod waterfront homes. With these projects come challenges—harsh weather and conservation protection issues to name a couple—but the result is always worth the effort. Whether it’s on the ocean, by the bay, or overlooking one of Cape Cod’s harbors or ponds, a water view is a priceless home feature.
We’ve chosen rooms with stunning views from 10 of our previous custom home builds and renovation projects. These Cape Cod waterfront homes range in home style—from contemporary to classic—but they all share the splendor of a water view.
