🏡 Why It Caught My Eye

There’s something magical about an A-frame—especially one that’s been thoughtfully updated while keeping its mid-century soul intact. Tucked on a quiet street on Shelter Island, this home blends clean geometry with the soft textures of outdoor living. From the dramatic pitch of the roofline to the sun-drenched kitchen and terrazzo-tiled bath, it feels like a summer daydream with timeless style.

What really sold me was the pairing of retro charm with practical upgrades—modern comfort with a nostalgic edge. This is exactly the kind of architecture that gets better with time.
