Major Renovation, Wellfleet, MA

Cape Associates carried out this major renovation in Wellfleet with architect Frank Shirley. The house is a two-story home clad in natural cedar shingles with white trim, divided-light windows and a white-trimmed front door under a small lantern.

The yard has been shaped with a low fieldstone wall, bluestone steppingstones and plantings that include purple salvia. A gravel drive curves past the house, and a raised white deck with a staircase sits on the side.

Below the deck, a stone patio with a bistro table sits outside a set of French doors, offering a shaded place to eat outdoors. One bedroom with pine floors and tall windows is also shown.

The shingles are a natural cedar tone that will weather gracefully, and the white trim and tall double-hung windows give the facade a calm, balanced rhythm. The landscaping and masonry help the house sit comfortably on its lot.
