RESTORING A COLONIAL LANDMARK FOR MODERN LIVING

The restoration of the 1720 Stanton Tucker House reflects a deep commitment to preserving the architectural heritage of coastal New England while thoughtfully preparing the home for contemporary living. Originally built by General Stanton, a prominent South County planter and landholder in Charlestown, the residence stands as a rare example of early colonial craftsmanship.

Working with extraordinary care, the project sought to retain as many original structural and architectural elements as possible. The classic wood-shingled farmhouse, defined by its central entry and substantial stone chimney set slightly off center, continues to express the quiet strength and simplicity of its 18th-century origins.

Modern systems were discreetly integrated to ensure long-term comfort and sustainability, including an advanced geothermal system that provides exceptional energy efficiency. Set within the natural coastal landscape, the property now includes a distinctive osprey nest, an enduring reminder of the home’s deep connection to the surrounding environment.
