Tucked beside the tranquil waters of an old quarry known as Nantucket Bay, this home had the view—but not the layout to enjoy it. The main living space was a maze of walls and outdated features that cut off natural light and disrupted the flow between the kitchen, dining, and living areas. Vaulted ceilings and lakefront windows were hidden behind poor design choices, and the kitchen, though centrally located, felt cramped and closed in.
The homeowners wanted something more—something that reflected the peaceful beauty outside their windows while offering a comfortable and functional space inside. Corinthian Fine Homes stepped in to reimagine the entire main floor, creating a unified, open-concept design that balances form, function, and the soft elegance of natural materials.
Walls came down. Windows opened up. And suddenly, the water became a focal point from nearly every corner of the space. Soft shades of blue and cream now echo the calm of the lake, creating a serene, vacation-like atmosphere the moment one steps inside.
The kitchen was reconfigured with intentionality—replacing the drop-down bulkheads and dated island with a custom alcove for the gas cooktop, complete with built-in spice shelving and deep drawers for pots and pans. The sink was relocated beneath a larger window to make meal prep a peaceful experience. Brass fixtures, hickory cabinetry, and fluted blue tile rising to the ceiling added a layer of charm and refinement.
Throughout the space, wood tones ground the design: real light oak flooring, a rich wood beam fireplace mantel, and carefully selected furniture that blends new upholstery with meaningful existing pieces, like a large area rug with just the right texture and color. Every detail was tailored to how this family lives—even the upper cabinets, which were custom set at 24 inches instead of the standard 18 to better suit a taller homeowner. It’s this level of thoughtful personalization that defines the Corinthian Fine Homes experience.
With clean sightlines, layered lighting, and a palette inspired by the waters of the Bay, this renovation is more than beautiful—it’s deeply personal. A once-segmented floorplan now invites gathering, entertaining, and slow mornings with a breathtaking view that take this family on vacation without ever leaving home.
