This home on Monomoscoy Island draws its inspiration from Key West, with avant-garde design and a multiple hipped roof line in a prime location along Waquoit Bay.
"The layout works well on the long narrow lot, offering privacy from neighbors and making the most of the bay views," said owner Jim Quigley, who has been building custom homes on and off the Cape for 25 years.
Lush holly, cedar and oak trees, as well as gardens of assorted ornamental grasses and blue hydrangeas create natural privacy screens and give vivid color.
Its rooms, arrayed on three levels and shaded by wide eaves, include two master suites with walk-in closets. Main rooms and halls have red oak flooring, while marbled, granite and tumbled tiles highlight heated floors in the bathrooms, which have massage-jet showers and sunflower shower heads. Coastal colors enliven walls painted wet sand, sea blue and marsh green, some bordered by white beadboard wainscoting.
Daylight streams into high-ceiling rooms through tall windows topped by transoms and white, wood-framed sliding glass doors that lead to decks.
The open kitchen, living and dining great room includes cherry flat-panel cabinets, pro-grade stainless steel appliances, granite counters with wavy sandstone patterns and a curving island bar with halogen pendant lights and sea green glass shades.
A media center with a 50-inch flat-screen television is built-in above the living room's gas log fireplace. A Chippendale-style balustrade edges the staircase; the lower level has theater, billiard and exercise rooms; the two-story heated boathouse has guest quarters and chevron-patterned cedar plank doors.
