In this custom Harwich Port home, the family room In this custom Harwich Port home, the family room wet bar complements its harborside surroundings with thoughtful coastal details. A teak-and-holly countertop evokes classic yacht interiors, while a brass undermount sink and hardware add warmth and nautical character. Painted in Benjamin Moore’s Van Deusen blue with a satin finish, the cabinetry offers a subtle nod to the shifting hues of the harbor just beyond.

#beforeandafter We gave this four-bedroom home on #beforeandafter We gave this four-bedroom home on Allen Harbor a striking two-phase makeover. (Final two photos show the original home's front and rear elevations.)

Highlights included new windows and doors to enhance the waterfront views, a reimagined first floor with an expanded kitchen and new home office, a renovated garage and mudroom, and a more formal front entry. 

To replace a first-floor bedroom that was removed, we transformed the space over the garage into a new primary suite with its own private entrance. Upstairs, we went from three bedrooms to four and refreshed the existing beds and baths. The final result is a home that perfectly suits the homeowners’ lifestyle and vision.

Screen porches are perfect for enjoying fresh air Screen porches are perfect for enjoying fresh air while staying cool, shaded, and bug-free. For this Harwich home, skylights and a round accent window bring in extra sunlight and add architectural interest.
