BLUEWATER HOME BUILDERS
HOBI Awards: 2023 SPEC HOME OF THE YEAR, BEST SPEC HOME $5 MILLION–$6 MILLION
With views of Long Island Sound from virtually every room, this 9,122-square-foot, seven-bedroom home is sited on a lot with conservation, wetland and flood-zone restrictions. The home’s exterior is wrapped in Yellow Alaskan Cedar with a natural finish and composite shiplap siding to give the house not only a modern look, but also a nod to the Shingle-style homes of the New England coastline.
Working closely with the town’s regulatory departments, a pool, spa, outdoor shower, gas firepit and patios were all situated on the waterfront side of the home. All of the patios and the front walkway are heated with a hydronic heating system to melt any ice and light snow. Inside, a double-island kitchen in pale oak features stone counters and backsplash with bold veining from Everest Marble. Interiors are by Laura Gorman of Bluewater Interiors; architecture is by Tanner White Architects.
