This water view property boasts a rich history that took required a detailed collaboration between owner, builder and architect. The site overlooks Mackerel Cove in Jamestown and is situated over 100 acres of open farmland. The original house on the property was built by the son of Benedict Arnold but was too small for the ever growing family of children, new spouses and grandchildren. The client wanted to connect with the original building physically at first but in the end the new house was connected spiritually. The design build team carefully took the original building apart while we designed an inerpretation of blended landscape, farmhouse history and new beginnings. The exteiror home has a blend of shingle, board and batten, detailed trim and porches while the inteiror has a sophisticated blend of historic elements from the original house and modern elements from their current lifestyle.
The beautiful 15×30 rectangular pool and expansive patio showcase the stunning views of Mackerel Cove and the surrounding farmland.
