The before

We fell in love before ever setting foot inside

Like something out of a storybook, this classic Cape Cod home sat in a quiet, forest-framed setting beneath a canopy of towering trees.

Its steeply pitched gabled roof, trio of dormers, and covered porch added to its curb appeal. Around back, a grand arched window flooded the interior with scenic views of a private forest. A covered breezeway connected to a spacious detached three-car garage.

Current state

Framing the front entry

To complement the surrounding lush green trees, we replaced the light blue siding with creamy beige, giving the exterior an airy yet welcoming feel. We kept the trim and soffits a classic white, but extended the white to the front porch to elevate the home’s curb appeal. The entry now serves as an intentional focal point rather than blending into the facade. Next, we plan to tackle the landscaping and the back patio.
