This house was featured in both New Old House and Period Homes magazines and it’s easy to see why it’s received so much recognition. Classic New England style is evident from the home’s exterior, and serene coastal style is featured inside. The living room showcases a rustic stone fireplace flanked by bookcases. Blue and white tends to dominate the interior spaces.

The kitchen’s dining space enjoys French doors that open up to a screened porch facing the bay. You can almost smell the sea breezes blowing into the house, which is located on an island just off the coast of Connecticut.

The harbor home has a wood and white staircase with a few turns that add visual interest, along with the architectural molding along the walls.

A gray-marbled counter tops a creamy white vanity in one of the bathrooms. A built-in mirrored medicine cabinet provides storage space for toiletries and first aid items. Fresh branches clipped from the garden add a bit of fragrance and beauty.

Remember the dramatic stone fireplace seen in the living room of this beautiful harbor home? It’s mimicked out here on the cozy porch with comfortable rattan furniture and a telescope for viewing boats on the water. The light fixture is a refurbished, antique ship’s lantern.
