Victorian Home

VICTORIAN HOME – Perched on a hill in Rockport, we have completely reimagined the space between this gorgeous Victorian main house and the cottage to include several raised bluestone vegetable beds, a Cape Ann granite pool retaining wall, reclaimed granite steps, outdoor fireplace and grilling terrace area. The attractive, existing hexagonal outhouse was moved to a spot directly on axis with a prominent viewpoint inside the house, and is repurposed as a potting shed for the family’s enthusiastic young gardeners. Since then, we’ve completed phase 2; a redesign of the pool area to include Cape Ann granite coping, bluestone flatwork, and an in ground hot tub. The planting is designed to provide lush, long-season borders to soften the hardscape with flowering trees, shrubs, and perennials, providing several cozy garden rooms for our client.
