‘Like so many Cape Cod properties, this home has been enjoyed as a summer weekend retreat through many generations with no significant renovation or remodeling done since the early 1970s’

This kitchen remodel represents the first phase in the updating of a 21-room, 1930’s Cape Cod estate overlooking Cotuit Bay. Like so many Cape Cod properties, this home has been enjoyed as a summer weekend retreat through many generations with no significant renovation or remodeling done since the early 1970s.

Given the COVID situation that developed in the spring 0f 2020, the current owner – a greater-Boston couple, anticipates spending more time living at the Cotuit home with their 9-year-old daughter.

The renovated space includes a full kitchen, pantry, and laundry area. The kitchen features a breakfast nook with custom built-in banquette seating and custom china cabinet, a hammered zinc prep sink set into a 3″ walnut butcher block prep station, and a 3″ thick marble countertop.

Cabinetry throughout is custom, maple door, full-extension dovetail with soft close drawers with a Summerfield drawer style. The interior wall includes 7′ of refrigeration with panel overlays.
