On a site that slopes gently down to Penobscot Bay, a Washington couple with four grown children sought to develop a house that would serve as a summer home and vacation destination for the family.
Drawing from the New England vernacular of simple forms and traditional materials, the house provides modern spaces for living with two parallel but offset two-story gabled wings linked by a bridge spanning an open Great Room. This soaring space, anchored at one end by a large granite-clad fireplace, serves to link the house together, and to provide premier views of the ocean to the east. A wall of windows and doors opens to a combination covered and screened porch, providing access to a lawn sloping to the rocky coast.
An open Kitchen serves the Dining Area and porch, as well as a link to the south yard and a view to an intimate cove. A private Library on the west wall provides a quiet away space.
At the north wing, the Master Suite, including a Study, gains access to a private patio with commanding views of the ocean below.
The upper levels of the north and south wings, provide bedrooms for the children and their families. An open bridge links the wings and provides views to the Great Room below, the sea beyond, and the front entry court to the north.
A detached garage keeps cars out of view and provides a second-story get-away room.
This house was completed in the summer of 2015.

Accessible Walk-In Shower Remodel Featuring Calacatta White Sentrel Walls
This beautiful accessible walk-in shower remodel combines elegant design, practical safety features, and everyday convenience. Featuring Calacatta White Sentrel premium composite shower walls, this transformation brings the luxurious appearance of natural marble into the bathroom while creating a more comfortable and accessible bathing environment.
The Calacatta White wall system makes a striking impression with its bright white background and dramatic gray veining. The large-format panels create a seamless, sophisticated appearance that elevates the entire shower while eliminating the need for traditional grout lines. Beyond its elegant appearance, Sentrel premium composite provides a durable, low-maintenance surface designed to resist mold and mildew.
Accessibility and safety were important considerations throughout this renovation. Strategically positioned safety grab bars provide additional support and stability when entering, exiting, and moving around the shower. A convenient handheld shower system offers greater flexibility and makes bathing more comfortable, particularly for homeowners who prefer additional control over their showering experience.
The thoughtfully designed shower also features a recessed storage niche with matching Calacatta White trim, providing convenient space for everyday bathing essentials while maintaining the clean, coordinated appearance of the walls. A low-profile shower entry and integrated drainage complete this functional design.
This project demonstrates that an accessible bathroom does not have to look institutional or sacrifice style. With beautiful marble-inspired finishes, polished chrome fixtures, and carefully selected accessibility features, homeowners can enjoy a shower that balances independence, comfort, and timeless design.
At American Home Remodeling, we specialize in accessible bathroom remodeling, walk-in shower installations, and bathroom upgrades designed around the needs of homeowners. Our goal is to create beautiful spaces that make everyday routines easier while adding lasting value and enjoyment to your home.

Artificial turf provides color and texture to delineate between the Versailles travertine paver patio areas. Large paver pads are used to provide access from one living space to the next. And the custom light and water feature becomes a focal point as the sun begins to set on the magnificent Gilbert property.

A Pool Fence provides a physical barrier around swimming pools so families have safe access to the entire yard without having access to the pool.

This couple wanted to get the most out of their small, suburban backyard by implementing an adult design separate from the kids' area, but within its view. Our team designed a courtyard-like feel to make the space feel larger and to provide easy access to the shed/office space. The delicate water feature and fire pit are the perfect elements to provide a resort feel.

This compact condominium guest bathroom does dual duty as both a bath and laundry room (machines are concealed by a bi-fold door most of the time). In an effort to provide guests with a welcoming environment, considerable attention was made in the color palette and features selected.
A petit sink provides counterspace for grooming and guest toiletry travel bags. Frequent visits by young grandchildren and the slender depth of the vanity precipitated the decision to place the faucet on the side of the sink rather than in the back.
Multiple light sources in this windowless room provides adequate illumination for both grooming and cleaning.
The tall storage cabinet has doors that are hinged in opposite directions. The bottom door is hinged on the right to provide easy access to laundry soap while the top door is left hinged to provide easy access to towels and toiletries.
The tile shower and wainscoting give this bathroom a truly special look and feel.

Innovative shelving and high-end design features elevate this creative space while providing necessary organization.
• Lago® Bellissima White finish creates a minimalistic and neutral backdrop.
• Aluminum frames with Wisp Silver Ecoresin inserts provide concealed storage.
• Gloss wired Mercury drawer faces add texture and interest to the minimalistic aesthetic.
• Unique yarn storage keeps supplies organized.
• Push-to-open hardware offers ease of use.
• Cubbies create storage that is easily accessible.
• Adjustable shelving provides flexibility for changing needs.
• Tiered top shelf accommodates the sloped ceiling.

The entire interior received a fresh coat of paint, revitalizing the home's appearance. We also installed new stairs for improved accessibility and safety. Additionally, the basement was finished to provide additional living space, completing the transformation of this Wynnewood home into a modern and comfortable living environment.
