West Chop Waterfront

West Chop, Massachusetts

Set on the dirt-road extension of the area’s main street, this property feels worlds away from the village, even though it’s actually quite close. The acreage of gently rolling marshland and broad ocean views suggest a truly pastoral, slightly wild atmosphere. The house responds to these natural cues.

Appropriate to the rural-feeling setting, the residence maintains its rambling aesthetic, but new vertical elements—including dormers and chimneys on both the central piece and the wings—balance the horizontality. The overall low-lying nature of the home allows it to blend seamlessly into the landscape.
