Today’s home tour is an absolutely lovely shingle style in East Hampton set on over one acre. It was designed by James Michael Howard and his wife Phoebe Howard in 2008 to represent timeless and classic New England style. Several different textures of wood were used to create visual change, and ceilings were heightened to add space. The project was such a success that it won a Hamptons Cottage & Gardens Award, and 12 years later it is just as fresh and beautiful as it was upon completion. Photography is from James Michaeld Howard’s website and a recent real estate listing…
