Hidden Along Old Dock Creek
Sandwich MA
This picturesque classic colonial house sits along Old Dock Creek in Sandwich. The American flag and antique wooden front doors with iron latches and hinges say it all. We tried to preserve the historic feel of this home by using antique Boston pavers for the front walkway and rustic granite steps leading to both front doors. A rough stonewall on the side of the home offers an aged look that works as an entrance to the back yard and while tying together the rustic look of both the front and back yards.
A broken bluestone walk leads you along the side yard through the raised garden that is retained by a large rock wall. Daisies, roses, lilies, and black-eyed Susans. A row of blue Nikko hydrangeas, a Cape Cod favorite, separate the marsh from the lawn and rosa rugosa outline the back deck. Brian included a large circular planting bed in the design, and now that it’s matured it is thick with native grasses and daisies. It’s easy for these homeowners to relax and enjoy this spectacular space in their hammock and twin Adirondack chairs looking out over the wetlands.
