Shingle style homes capture the essence of coastal living. They embody the East Coast aesthetic with a classic charm that merges elegance with comfort. Born of New England seaside getaways like Nantucket and Cape Cod, in the 19th century, these homes haven’t faded in appeal. The craftsmanship and detail of Nantucket architecture remains evergreen and inviting across the nation, from Southampton to Seattle.
Northwest Twist
Northeast by Northwest, a shingle style home in the Seattle region, harnesses the character of classic Nantucket architecture from first approach. Poetic asymmetry and iconic gables define the exterior. White columns and accents harmonize with a timeless ocean blue siding, red door, and stone base, creating a rich, inviting facade.
Traditional Design
Inside, soft arches create gentle segues between living spaces, allowing rooms to be connected yet distinct. Coffered ceilings impart an air of sophistication while cozy seating spaces temper the rooms with the comforts of home.
Modern Comforts
Although steeped in the classic spirit of shingle style homes, Northeast by Northwest brings in the perks of modern design. The home offers plenty of extra living space. A verdant play room provides a place for kids to let their imaginations run wild. A stately billiards room offers recreation for the kids’ more mature counterparts.
Outside, a sprawling green lawn offers ample space to play, lounge, or admire the surrounding community. A covered sitting space invites guests to gather around the outdoor fireplace and share laughter and stories late into the summer evenings.
Shingle style homes aren’t relegated to Nantucket alone. They thrive in the Pacific Northwest as a classic, comfortable space to call home.
