Single family, new construction. Four buildings on two lots, with a total of 6,000 square feet. Historic District compliance. Flood Plain resistant construction. Construction start spring 2026.
Set amidst a historic harbor front neighborhood, this new residential development includes two single family houses, one detached garage with Accessory Dwelling Unit, and historic rehabilitation of the existing “Candy Cottage”. Taking cues from the surrounding vernaculars, these new homes blend modern amenities with historic forms, materials and details. The homes are situated to capture water views, with welcoming porches and private pocket gardens. The efficient interior layout maximizes utility while connecting spaces visually for a buoyant experience within a compact and cost-effective footprint. Strategic designs for site, structure, and materials will ensure lasting resilience along the edge of a tidal river flood zone. The restoration of the beloved Candy Cottage will ensure historic charm continues in this enduring coastal enclave.
