CLOCKWISE FROM TOP RIGHT:
The landscaped grounds boast
a lush synthetic turf putting
green, sprawling gardens and a
scenic meandering Bluestone
walkway; The pool house
complements the classic
shingle-style architecture
of the main home; The line
between inside and out is
decidedly blurred thanks
to floor-to-ceiling accordion
doors in the pool house; A
hot tub, outdoor shower, fire
pit and al fresco dining spots
surround the curved pool and
pool house. Hanging bistro
lights set the mood for endless
summer nights.
Sweenor Builders’ classic shingle-style
design complements that of the property’s
main home and carriage house and uses
a cohesive coastal color scheme to create
seamless transitions to new spaces.
The pool house intentionally brings the
outside in though the selection of organic,
durable materials. High ash wood ceilings
are finished with a clear stain and paired
with retractable floor-to-ceiling accordion
doors, creating an open flow between the
pool and kitchen. And speaking of the
fully equipped kitchen, it features stainless
steel cabinetry, exclusively made to hold up
against the elements. The island is wrapped
in a panna white jambstock (typically used for
waterproofing showers) to withstand children’s
wet and sandy feet. Add in the shower
complete with beach stone tile, the cozy media
nook bathed in sunlight, plus the warmth of
the wood-burning fireplace, and this active
family never again has to miss the joy of the
great outdoors while ‘stuck’ inside. ◆
