House Tour-A Cape Cod Beauty on Pleasant Bay


A Cape Cod Beauty on Pleasant Bay



Hi Friends,

If you follow Beach Pretty then you know I am originally from Cape Cod, and if your stopping by today for the first time, than thank you for visiting. I live in Florida now, but a big part of my heart is on the Cape, an a true treasure. The designers of this shingle style Cape Cod home is the firm of Polhemus Savery DaSilva, and I will fully disclose that I am a huge stalker of their incredible work. This home sits on Pleasant Bay, and the designer’s gave their readers a little information about the bay.

Pleasant Bay is the largest salt water estuary on Cape Cod. It spans four towns and includes numerous coves, tidal rivers, ponds, harbors, marshes, islands and beaches. It has been an environmentally-rich and special place at least as long as recorded history of the region has existed. All types of houses occur around it as well, from modest low-lying beach houses right on the sand to large bluff-top shingle style manses. Our client found a large bluff-top site with an existing house on it and requested we replace it with an up-to-date shingle style home inspired by such classics.

Thanks for taking time to stop by and I hope you loved today’s feature. Until next time.

xoxo,

Beach Pretty
