Pleasant Bay

Pleasant Bay, Orleans, MA

Nestled among mature oak and pine trees, this beautifully restored colonial home on Cape Cod blends perfectly with its natural surroundings. The towering trees frame the property, offering a gracious entryway and enhancing the overall appeal of the landscape.

Renovating the entryways involved navigating diverse terrain and varying grades. The solution included elegantly designed retaining walls and terraces to manage these changes using reclaimed granite and sculptural fieldstone. The result provides depth and seamless navigation while maintaining the home's sophisticated aesthetic. Large bluestone steps lead through the property, blending durability with elegance. The parking court, adorned with reclaimed granite aprons and a chip seal gravel surface, provides a harmonious transition from driveway to landscape. Notably, part of the parking area doubles as a pickleball court, reflecting the clients' passion for the sport while maintaining the site’s refined look.

Native shrubs and perennials surround the home, offering low-maintenance beauty and thriving in the Cape Cod climate. This thoughtful planting strategy ensures a lush garden requiring minimal upkeep, enhancing the property's timeless charm.
