Cape Cod Masterpiece in Dartmouth, Mass.
At the tip of Mishaum Point, above Massachusetts’ Buzzards Bay, celebrated architect Robert A.M. Stern created a masterpiece that is perfectly situated with 270-degree ocean views.
Cape Cod Exterior
This beacon on a hill, designed by celebrated American architect Robert A.M. Stern, is situated on 10 lush acres. A U.S. Navy surveillance bunker from World War II remains buried on the site.
Great Hall
The great hall was inspired by the great center halls of shingle style houses — generous in size and timeless in beauty. The center hall connects the major rooms on the first floor: the broad living room, the octagonal dining room and the cubic stair hall.
Living Room
Exemplifying nautical style, the broad living room is adorned with traditional oil paintings of seaward ships. Tranquil shades of blue are evidenced throughout — from the relaxed furniture to the faux-painted walls.
Window Seat
The living room's bay window is outfitted with a curvaceous window seat. Tufted accent chairs pull up to a glass-top coffee table to create a versatile sitting area with a knockout view.
Dining Room
In the dining room, pale yellow chairs match the pastel walls. Pretty details create an air of elegance about the room: a sparkly chandelier, floral drapes and intricate window trim.
Kitchen
The kitchen, breakfast room and family room occupy the east end of the 21,848-square-foot home. Full of fuss-free charm and ample prep space, the kitchen features hardwood floors, exposed beams and warm wood accents.
Kitchen
A coastal kitchen backsplash is a whimsical addition to the chef kitchen. Above the gas range, a robins egg blue range hood is a bright surprise.
Breakfast Nook
Blue and white give this breakfast nook a big personality. Nautical touches — lobster pillows and sailboat decor — fit right in with the waterfront surroundings. A glass-top table and upholstered banquette strike a polished note in the casual dining space.
Entryway
The side entrance has the utility of a mudroom with its tiled floors, storage console and umbrella rack. A guesthouse to the east echoes the main residence with a gambrel roof, covered porches and shingled facade.
Great Room
A little color goes a long way in the great room, where pops of turquoise play up the coastal style of the waterfront home. Rustic exposed beams frame the space, which includes a pass through wet bar with arched built-ins.
Library
In the west tower of the home, the wood-paneled library features a floor-to-ceiling beachstone and driftwood chimney breast under a beamed and vaulted ceiling. An arched door leads to a waterfront balcony.
Master Suite
On the second floor, the master suite occupies the west gable and guest bedrooms face south and east. One of eight bedrooms in the residence, this spacious number mixes architectural elegance with the utmost comfort.
Bathroom
One of 10 bathrooms in the main residence, this pretty-in-pink bathroom wows with it's elegantly framed bathtub and single vanity. A sweet seashell rug softens the mosaic tile floor.
Wine Cellar
The octagonal wine cellar is for the serious wine enthusiastic. Decked with intricate shelving, terra cotta tile and a beamed ceiling, the space boasts both form and function.
Wet Bar
Modern barstools cozy up to a wooden bar that resembles the hull of a boat. A porthole window and stainless steel pendant lights add to the nautical charm of the entertaining space.
Bowling Alley
The lower level of the house is designed for ultimate entertaining. A retro bowling alley is complete with two lanes, built-in shelves and a spiffy ball return.
Sunroom
The sunroom features painted brick floors, unadorned windows and a rugged fireplace surround. A mixture of rustic decor and tropical furniture creates a down-to-earth aesthetic that is perfect for this relaxed space.
Infinity Pool
To the east, the oceanfront infinity pool is sheltered from summer gusts that roll off the bay. Candy-colored chaise cushions add a layer of color to the immaculate pool deck.
Pool
An expansive pergola and screened-in porch provide relief from the summer sun. The stone retaining wall surrounding the pool deck harmonizes with the residence's stone and shingle exterior.
Pool View
The landmark property has over 1,500 feet of water frontage, including the serene pool deck overlooking Buzzards Bay.
Shingle-Style Architecture
Built in 2007, the shingle-style Cape Cod was designed by American architect Robert A.M. Stern. The home’s silhouette is characterized by two haystack gables, a tower at the west end and several beachstone chimneys. Wide covered porches wrap around the exterior of the magnificent home with waterfront views from three sides.
