This house, built on a dramatic rock outcropping above Hamburg Cove, is a contemporary homage to the New England shingle style lodge. Front view of the house, accented with a distinctive Victorian turret.

Porches provide multiple vantage points from which to enjoy the tranquil Connecticut setting.

An unexpected element in the house is the elliptical staircase. A series of windows provide light and a view of the natural surroundings to each level.

The Victorian motif is carried through in this distinctive bath with twin “wash stand” sinks and rich carved woodwork
