Designed for empty-nesters interested in down-sizing yet reluctant to leave their comfortable single-family homes, Back River Townhomes offer discerning home owner’s residence in a low-maintenance community with a view of Back River. Designed on a bottom-floor living model, half of the units contain first-floor master bedrooms, while others have walk-out basements containing an entertainment and media room, exercise room, or a fourth bedroom on the lower level.
Cupolas with flared light wells are situated above the stairs, allowing sunlight to penetrate all three floors of the home’s interior core. Exterior massing and detail is reminiscent of large, unified shingle-style manor homes similar to nostalgic summer cottages along the New England coast.
