Renovation, Wellfleet, MA

Cape Associates designed and built this renovation in Wellfleet as a design/build project. The house is a cape with natural cedar shingles, a blue front door and a gabled roof with skylights, set on a lawn among tall pines.

A stepping-stone path leads across the grass and past a few boulders, and a fenced outdoor shower and patio sit at the side. Inside, the rooms are bright and open.

• A dining area with a round table and black-framed windows
• Open beams over a living room with a gas fireplace
• A kitchen with white subway tile, a farmhouse sink and a blue-gray island
• A laundry nook with a nautical chart mural and a wood-topped bench

The finishes are cheerful and practical, with black window frames, a shiplap fireplace wall, a rustic mantel and wood-topped counters. Natural light fills the kitchen and living areas, and the pine setting is visible from nearly every room shown.
