Simplicity on the Sound

Harwich Port

Design/Build: McPhee Associates

Simplicity on the Sound is a new construction Cape Cod-style oceanfront house that overlooks Nantucket Sound in Harwich Port.  It is a family beach house that replaced a weathered cottage that dated back to 1878.

The decision was made to rebuild on the same footprint, with a new foundation, and add space to the second floor. The owners wanted to maintain the nostalgia the old beach cottage held; therefore, the plan was to keep it simple with a modest floor plan and focus on the ocean view and extraordinary location.

Second Home Owners from Maryland

“This was our first brand-new custom-built home. While our Dennis house was being built, we were living in Maryland, more than 500 miles away. We especially appreciated the extra effort and sound guidance that you provided us during our three trips to the Cape at significant construction milestones…“

New Build in Harwich Port

“Your professionalism and the way you have made the building process as easy as possible for us has been wonderful. Naturally, all our neighbors and plenty of strangers passing by have asked us about McPhee’s services and our response has consistently been the same – we are very pleased and haven’t even one criticism. We would highly recommend McPhee to anyone – Rob, you have quite the team…On this second anniversary of the start of the project, I wanted to send a sincere thank you to all of you.”
