Single Family Residence in Chatham, MA

Laissez Faire, designed and built by Polhemus Savery DaSilva in 2012, is a coastal showpiece set in Hardings Beach Hills, with sweeping views of the marsh and creek. Blending classic Cape vernacular with modern lines, the home showcases exceptional craftsmanship and architectural detail throughout. The open main level is anchored by an arched fireplace wall that flows into a dramatic two-story dining area and reading loft, both set off by a soaring wall of windows with water views. The chef's kitchen offers bar seating, while a versatile bedroom or study, full bath and mudroom complete the floor. The primary suite is a quiet retreat, featuring a fireplace, built-in bookshelves, a window seat and a luminous stained-glass accent window. A second guest suite with vaulted ceilings completes the upper level. The walk-out lower level provides generous family space, custom built-ins, abundant storage and room for expansion. Outdoors, mature plantings, stonework, a large deck and a pergola patio create a seamless connection to the landscape. As part of the Bucks Creek Association, residents enjoy access to a private picnic area and dock on Nantucket Sound. The nearby Cape Cod Rail Trail offers an easy, scenic ride to downtown Chatham and surrounding towns.
