Plain SAILING

Originally built in the 1700s, this grey-shingled boathouse has since been carefully converted and recently renovated by designer Gary McBournie
HOW DID YOU COME TO BE INVOLVED IN THIS PROJECT?
Our client is an avid sailor and she brings several boats to the island every summer. When this charming cottage at the end of a historic wharf on Nantucket became available, she decided to purchase it not only for direct access to the water but also for recreational use and off-season storage for her sailing equipment. As we had already done several projects for her, it seemed only natural that she engaged us to renovate the new property and infuse it with our take on ‘Nantucket Nautical’ style.
WHAT WAS THE CONDITION OF THE PROPERTY WHEN THE OWNER BOUGHT IT?
