The best homes in Cape Cod are built to encourage the wonderful summer sunshine and sea breezes, while being prepared for the harsher side of the calendar.

One gorgeous home in Chatham succeeded brilliantly in accomplishing that architectural balancing act.

The home was showcased a while back in New England Home.

The homeowners wanted to build their Cape Cod summer home so that it could eventually become a year round– the day would come that they will give up their lives in Boston and move to the Cape.

But the site required removing older structures, and careful consideration of the nearby wetland environment.

Light flows into the home from nearly all directions, creating a beautiful views of the surroundings from every window.

Light finishes, simple lines and large windows create a light, airy and invigorating environment throughout the home, including the bath.

We particularly appreciate how this newly constructed home pays homage to the Cape’s architectural history, while creating a sturdy and comfortable home for today.

LaBarge Homes is the perfect home builder for this kind of project, which requires fine craftsmanship, expertise in advanced building techniques and concern for Cape Cod’s environment. We’d love to discuss your next building project or home remodeling.
