Architecture, Interiors

This modern family home overlooks the Atlantic from its perch atop the stone ledges of Marblehead's Goldthwait neighborhood. The newly constructed home is a contemporary shingle-style house with a Vermont country feel. The first floor is anchored by a family style eat-in kitchen adjoining an open floor plan that takes advantage of the panoramic water views.

The second floor is comprised of three junior suites and a master suite with a balcony. The three car garage, play room above and in-law suite in the basement complete the interior of the home. The approach up the driveway gives a glimpse of the dramatic views through a passageway between the house and mature arborvitae. A series of retaining walls slope down to the ocean, creating natural gathering areas at various elevations.
