Located on the eastern coast of Beavertail Island, the existing three-story home overlooks Hull Cove with distant views of Newport. While the new owners loved the grounds and landscaping, the house—built just 20 years prior—felt dated. They envisioned a reimagined home aligned with their minimalist aesthetic and love of entertaining.

Rooms were strategically relocated to enhance the home’s connection to the landscape. The former second-floor primary bedroom became a family room, now open to the elevated deck through a wide four-panel sliding glass door. A dark-tiled fireplace with inset TV is flanked by window seats, while a gray oak bar with hanging shelves and antique mirror anchors the opposite side. The deck’s solid walls were replaced with cable railing for unobstructed views, and a black steel spiral stair links the upper and lower decks.

The new primary suite occupies a former guest room on the third floor. Enlarged windows form a bay overlooking the water. A gray oak volume houses a fireplace and TV, with a stone mantle extending into a desk. Built-in wardrobes line the wall behind the bed.

The suite continues as a sequence of spaces—mini-bar, dressing room, and bathroom—defined by oak volumes with dark panel-lined openings and pocketing doors. The new bathroom, extended under the roofline, features honed Smokey Gray marble floors and walls, a floating oak vanity, and vertical slit windows for privacy and light.

Additional bathrooms were redesigned with custom tilework, marble surfaces, and refined material detailing to complete the transformation.
