Nestled in Hardings Beach Hills, Laissez Faire, designed and built by Polhemus Savery DaSilva in 2012, presents a stunning display of nature with its panoramic marsh and creek views. The architecture of this residence is a masterful fusion of classic Cape vernacular with modern inspiration, reflective of PSD’s signature style. Unique design elements and extraordinary millwork details, like the curve of the living room fireplace mantle wall with v-groove paneling that extends through to the dining room impart a symmetry and flow throughout the open main level. Views of the marsh, creek and surrounding landscape are offered from every window yet the focus of this extraordinary home is the two story dining room and open reading nook above, illuminated by a dramatic wall of windows overlooking the marsh. The adjoining chef’s kitchen offers full amenities and casual bar seating. The main level is complete with a sunny bedroom/study, full bath and multi-use mudroom. The serene primary bedroom has a gas fireplace surrounded by built-in bookshelves and window seat, and the ensuite bath is accented with a custom, stained glass window, designed by the architect, that allows light to pass through from the stair hall – just one of the many special touches. The upstairs guest bedroom has high ceilings and a window niche that can accommodate a table or desk. The walk-out lower level offers additional living space with more views of the marsh and includes a laundry room with abundant storage, built in bookshelves, and plenty of room for family activities. Additionally, the lower level offers adjoining unfinished space if expansion is desired. The stunning marsh and creekfront setting is augmented by mature plantings, natural stonework, generous outdoor deck space and a grilling patio with a picturesque pergola. This coastal home is part of the Bucks Creek Association, which offers a private community picnic area and dock for launching kayaks for leisurely excursions through the marsh and beyond to Nantucket Sound.
