This new six-bedroom house with five and one-half bathrooms includes staggered floor levels to accommodate its sloping site on Martha’s Vineyard. Generous, open living space -- anchored on one end by a fireplace and the other by the kitchen -- borders a dining area that’s nestled under a roof that also shelters the adjacent wrap-around porch. A deck off the rear of the dining space extends around the kitchen and is easily accessible from the nearby smaller family room too. The upper level master suite includes a study, roof deck, master bath, ample walk-in closets and, of course, the master bedroom.

This larger home is a collection of informal, dormered gable components and grounding one-story, shed-roof elements that reduce its overall scale. Clad in white cedar shingles with shingle accent patterns and a red cedar roof, this island home will softly weather in-tune with its meadow site.
