Lakewood has never seen anything like this!
On a street filled with identical houses, this gorgeous home takes a stand against conformity. Built in the style of the classic New England houses around Cape Cod, this sprawling colonial home exemplifies a style rarely seen in Texas.
The family who now owns this home contracted the architectural masters over at Maestri LLC specifically to design something different, something unique, something that would stand out in a sea of homes that all seem to mimic each other. We teamed with Maestri LLC to make that dream a reality, using their gorgeous designs to bring a little piece of Cape Cod to Texas.
And just like New England, this house has it’s own unique style. With clustered windows, exterior port ceilings, and gorgeous white columns, this house glistens with light. And light is the name of the game—every room is brilliantly lit. The bright, airy, open design is perfect for this young, growing family.
Other major features include stained cedar shake cladding and multiple dormer-style roofs. This house is like nothing else in the neighborhood—it towers above the competition, reminding viewers of the colonial days of early America.
But don’t take our word for it—look for yourself!
- Here you can see a spacious media room—note the grouped windows, a classic marker of Cape Cod homes.
- In this upstairs hallway, you can see a handrail built in the traditional New England style. Note also the sliding barn-style doors with exposed runner and powder bathroom. The bathroom has a cute bit of personalization—the glass in the wood door has the letters WC etched into it (for water closet of course!)
- Vaulted ceilings in the children’s room amplify the natural lighting from the grouped windows. The ladder in the foreground leads to something every child dreams of—a secret play area!
- This house is filled with hidden gems—like this vaulted children’s play area! This hidey hole is accessible through the attic ladder from one room and a hatch from another. Both open onto another, larger play area that sits between both children’s rooms.
- And here’s the larger play area in between! Situated between the two girls bedrooms, this room contains the same wood flooring and grouped windows as the rest of the house. Note the built-in cabinet in the back—perfect storage space for board games.
- Tucked away in a corner on the upstairs landing is an office space with built-in cabinets. The door in the background leads to another bedroom.
- Here you can see the other children’s bedroom—this room was built with literature in mind! Note the recessed niche with wooden archway and paneling and easily accessible bookshelf, perfect for reading a lazy Sunday away.
- In this shot of the children’s bedroom, you can see the specialty trim work and wood flooring.

- The dining room is a mixture of painted and wallpapered walls, continuing the wainscoting below. Large French doors open on to the back porch.

- Windows abound through this nautically themed living room—do you feel like you’re in Cape Cod yet? Note the herringbone pattern wood-burning fireplaces surrounded with marble and the French doors leading to the patio. The coffered ceilings finish the look, transporting you into 1700s New England.
