This Shingle-style home in a low-key, coastal community is a New England beachfront classic with gabled dormers, stone chimneys, and a series of porches that cascade from the top to the bottom of the two-and-a-half-story structure. We kept the interior clean, but not too contemporary, with unfussy moldings and Shaker-style paneling. The home is a year-round escape, with a fireplace on the broad, screened porch.
