Expanded Entertainment

Since the back patio is so spacious, doors to both the dining room and great room are just a few steps away. In good weather, doors can be left open to expand the entertainment area.

Year-Round Lounging

“When you live in New England, and you’re outdoors all the time, I don’t think people worry about cool weather because they’re pretty hardy,” explains Linda. “I think this is a patio that will get a lot of use.”

Background Furniture

“When people are outside, the beautiful teak and the cushions become the background for people and their dressed up clothes and their food and wine,” says Linda. “I like that kind of approach to outside, because you’re also looking at landscaping and the sky. The furniture is beautiful and durable, and it works in this area of the world. You want it to always look good and really be comfortable.”

Showered in Luxury

An outdoor shower on one side of the patio is a luxurious addition to the Cape Cod home. “This is a very physically active island, and there are lots of people out,” explains Linda. “This outdoor shower is great not only for the beach but just to be outside.”
