A covered front porch opens to a foyer and stair hall rising two stories. The living room, anchored by a fireplace, runs the depth of the house and opens to a covered deck; the dining area and the granite-and-butcher-block kitchen sit alongside, with a family room leading to the covered patio and second deck. The primary suite occupies its own wing: a 16-by-22-foot bedroom, a bath of nearly equal size, and a walk-in closet the length of the room. A second en-suite bedroom, a powder room, and a large laundry and mudroom complete the floor. A full single-level life, with the gardens a step away.

The landing overlooks the foyer below and leads to a second family room with its own fireplace, opening through French doors to a 21-by-26-foot balcony facing Capaum Pond and Nantucket Sound. Four bedrooms share the floor, each with a bath of its own, two with walk-in closets, the largest nearly 20 feet deep. Morning light reaches the east rooms; the balcony holds the long north view over the pond to open water.

The lower level is built for the off-hours of a full house. A 22-by-30-foot recreation room with a wet bar sits at its center, joined by a media room, an exercise room, and a wine cellar. Two further bedrooms with full baths make quiet quarters for guests or staff. Windowed along the garden side, the level lives brighter than the word basement suggests. Additional storage rooms are not counted in the living area.
