SEE THIS HOUSE: A TRADITIONAL MANSION IN MAINE!

I had to refrain from posting this house for about a month as I realized it would look like I am obsessed with the work of New York architect Peter Pennoyer. When I looked back through my archives, I realized that each month, at about the same time, I was posting an architectural wonder as designed by Peter Pennoyer Architects firm. There was no explanation for why once a month I was finding something from him that I wanted to post. Only explanation it seems is that I am indeed obsessed with Peter Pennoyer’s architecture and design. So there. I’ve copped to it.

Now that we’ve got that admission aside…onto this grand home!

A blue library with its arched windows, a fireplace and classic furnishings is the signature space in this home. The shade of blue reminds me of photos I took in Philadelphia’s Independence Hall. (above)

    You are right to be obsessed! The architecture is fantastic! And Peter Pennoyer certainly knows how to include Mother Nature. Look at all the views! (I would not only take a bath but potentially even sleep in that bath tub if the house was mine. What a spot!).

    Happy new week, ox Mon

    A little bit of Jeffersonian influence with ship lap ceilings and Sagamore Hill porches. I LOVE it!

    My goodness, what a beautiful house, and what inspiring images! I would be thrilled even to live in the guest house, let alone the main building. Haha! Thanks for the post, I’m a big fan of Pennoyer, and I have not seen this house before. I am also a fan of his wife, Katie Ridder, who is a fabulous interior designer in NYC.

    Wow, that is some house! That guest house is bigger than what most people call their main house. I would pay $50 just to bath in that bathtub with the view though!

    Beautiful home! From the outside it looks like the inside would be a predictable New England style home, but they have pushed the envelope with color and light and architecture. So many good ideas! Thanks for sharing.

Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tou Martha's Vineyard house tour part 1. Here is a tour of the rental house we had in Edgartown on MV this summer. A new build about 5 minutes from the center of town. 3500 square feet, 4 bedrooms, 4 baths and a pool. House bad that beach house or coastal style decor. We were the first to rent it. What do you think? Would you rent thjs? Do you want to see the bedrooms?
It was our 2nd summer on the Vineyard. Next year, we are renting for the month. Same house. 💃🏾 I would love a bit bigger so more people could come but finding good rentals is hard on the Vineyard. Feel very lucky to have spent a magical few weeks in this spot.
