A new porch highlights the front door, once difficult to find, on this variation of a traditional Cape Cod home. Ample windows on axis with the living room entry focus a visitor’s attention on a sun filled garden terrace and water feature.

Below the living room, a new basement home theater is finished with fine wood paneling and accented with art from their collection.
