A New England Dream House

On a Cape Cod house tour last summer, I got to visit a unique home in Cotuit. Every detail was stunning, although I have to say that I found the scale to be somewhat intimidating.

Family room

The house is truly a show piece, with a stunning kitchen.

Kitchen

Clearly European influenced, the design is both somewhat spare and spectacular.

Dining room

Before it went off the air, the program New England Dream House did a video segment featuring the home.

Here in New England, we're in the thick of house tour season. The designs, the inspiration, the camraderie with fellow aficionados, and the delicious sense of elegance heighten my anticipation for this year's tours.
