Linda Woodrum of HGTV “Dream Homes,” and Coastal Living Idea Houses; and Jon Kastl, and Hart Howerton collaborated for the design of the Captain’s Cottages project.
Both designers were tasked by Harbor View management to create distinctive, luxury residences that would evoke classic Vineyard style and a breezy seaside ambience.
Notable design refinements of the cottages include new artwork and individual furniture pieces to fill empty spaces; new bed pillows and dining chair cushions for added comfort and finesse; tweaks to indoor and outdoor lighting to enhance functionality; and new fencing.
The cottages also boast refinished wood floors with repaired nicks. Glass tops were added to some furnishings, along with touch up of paint.
Each of the cottage suites has its own unique floor plan.
Walls with v-grooved panelling are painted a fresh summer white, contrasting with solid black walnut floors and creating a clean and airy backdrop for a variety of colour schemes, including seashore teal blue, soft beiges, brown and white, and coral red, beige and brown.
Adding to the island feel are wicker and upholstered furnishings, bamboo draw shades and plantation shutters.
All suites feature one to three bedrooms and one or two baths, with central air conditioning, heat and gas fireplaces.
Queen pull-out sofas in the living rooms accommodate extra guests, while flat-screen TVs, iPod stations, stereo and wireless Internet provide the latest in entertainment technology.
Bedrooms are furnished with a queen or king bed, while kitchenettes are equipped with small refrigerators, microwaves, dishwashers, coffee machines and kitchenware, and washers and dryers for each suite.
Baths are usually marble or mini-ceramic tiled, with glass-walled showers and separate tubs.
Most suites have porches and/or decks with comfortable rocking chairs, while several have their own private outside showers of cedar and mahogany that open into the suite bathroom.
Owners also have access to personal storage space in the cottage basements.
Cottage suites are priced from $566,500 for a first-level, one-bedroom suite to $2,467,500 for a three-bedroom penthouse with a deck and water views.
