Classic Watch Hill

A dramatic renovation (architect Jack Renshaw; construction by Hammond Housecraft, Saunderstown; interior design by Ken E. Gemes of Edwin Gemes, New York) has rendered this better-than-new home glorious. Still, the top used space has to be this dual mudroom/laundry set beside the front entry. With a bonanza of custom storage, honed granite counters and a farm sink that allows fussing with flowers or dog washing, the space handles whatever comes along with poise. Traditional beadboard suits the architecture, while a ceramic tile looks-like-slate floor scoffs at weather. But it’s the finishing touches—a stylish window shade and a seat cushion covered in sturdy outdoor fabric—that polish it off. Should a drop of disorderliness occur—highly unlikely—these clever owners simply shut the pocket door.
