Wheelers point Cottage

Wheeler’s Point is a tightly packed neighborhood on a peninsula surrounded by tidal marshes. Like many of Gloucester’s neighborhoods, the lots are filled with modest homes with wrap around porches and decks to take advantage of the ocean views. They are extremely charming, but often do not provide enough interior living space for a year round home. This cottage had seen numerous renovations to make it suitable for full-time use, but remained fragmented and challenging for a growing family. We collaborated closely with the clients to reimagine the floor plan, relocating the kitchen to improve the living area. The redesign incorporated a new mudroom, laundry room, and full bathroom. Our approach sought to recapture the cottage's lost charm while expanding storage and maximizing the stunning marsh views.
