Southcoast / Buzzards Bay

Book Cover Image South Coast Massachusetts by Robert N. Linde

THE BEST OF THE

SOUTHCOAST

The Southcoast is situated along the pristine coastline of Buzzards Bay between Cape Cod and Rhode Island. The region is often referred to as a “Diamond in the Rough’ because of its proximity to Boston, Providence, RI and Cape Cod & The Islands. Few places anywhere in New England have the coastal access, wide open spaces, historic charm and character as this region. The Southcoast is also referred to as the “Farm Coast” in Massachusetts with its large number of family owned farms, vineyards, cranberry bogs and fishing ports that are vital food sources in New England and beyond. The term “Southcoast” was first used by Todd Gross at WHDH- TV in Boston in weather forecast to describe the region in the l980’s. Soon after, The New Bedford Standard Times Newspaper picked up on the term and became the Southcoast Media Group. The name has now been accepted and is widely used by all. Today the Southcoast has become the place to be for corporations looking for great incentives for development and has seen a new influx of younger residents who want a better quality of life for themselves and their families and more affordable options for living. The Best of the Southcoast is about the communities, living in the region and what makes this place so very special. These coastal communities date well back in time and have played a major role in the history of our country. Our challenge in the years ahead as metropolitan Boston and Providence continue to grow is to preserve and protect the resources and quality of life for generations ahead.

COASTAL PERFECTION…

DAVITT DESIGN BUILD By NEHL Staff

#HOMEOWNERLIFESTYLE

NEHOMELIFE.COM

Coastal living is natural to us all, the sea lives in every one of us. We yearn to be near it, to watch and listen as it calms our souls and touches our senses. In 1962 John F. Kennedy spoke at America’s Cup Yacht Races in Newport, RI, about the sea. He said, “We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch - we are going back from whence we came.”

Living along the water for many of us is a lifelong dream. Building a custom home on the water can be one of the most rewarding experiences in life. This is truly where experience and expertise are needed, as not just any home builder can perform well in this area. The team at Davitt Design Build are well informed, highly trained professionals who understand the obstacles of coastal building and development who will turn your dream home into a reality. At Davitt, they take the worry out of the process. They are an award-winning pioneer in the designbuild industry with more than three decades of experience and recognition with over 60 regional and national awards. Their process is innovative and transparent as they create and restore strikingly beautiful, meticulously, crafted homes within budget and on schedule. Davitt projects have created a benchmark in the home building industry throughout the Northeast as the standard for excellence. Keith Briggs, Director of Production said, “Personal service and communication is the cornerstone of our business. The process of getting to know every customer allows us to better understand their vision as well as walk them through the entire project hand in hand.” Davitt Design Build is a one-stop shop. From schematics designs, engineering obstacles, pulling

permits, scheduling contractors, and choosing finishes, the team at Davitt will be your quarterback throughout the entire process. Briggs also noted, “We have zero hidden agendas here, we are full disclosure. You will know how much each project costs from the start.” Davitt believes that both the exterior and interior of your home should be a reflection of the

homeowner. Part of the design process is working closely with their in-house Interior Designer, Mary Rae. The relationships they build with their clients allows each team member to know exactly what the homeowner likes, or dislikes. Rae said, “Building personal relationships and getting to know each customer allows me to create a holistic design that is a 100% representation of the

homeowner.” Mary’s team selects color pallets, appliances, flooring, furniture, lighting, etc. bringing the homeowner’s vision to life. You will be hard pressed to find another design-build team in Southeastern New England that balances a talented architectural team, seamless project management team, experienced engineering team, and a creative interior design team that will help

OUTDOOR LIVING

Fall Fire Pits By Louise Hullett

Nothing brightens up a backyard entertaining space quite like a fire pit. Fire pits can be a focal point and add drama and beauty to your outdoor living space. They can even extend the use of your outdoor space during cold winter months. At other times of the year, they make a nice gathering place for roasting weenies and marshmallows and enjoying time with friends.

Courtesy: Davitt Design Build

First off, before you make any decisions, check regulations regarding the type of fire feature, with your local authorities regarding fire features in construction materials, dimensions and location, as your area. There may be operational requirements, well as restrictions on what can be burnt. #HOMEOWNERLIFESTYLE

[14]

NEHOMELIFE.COM

With the addition of a fire pit, you can turn any night into a stargazerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s paradise and extend the usefulness of your outdoor space on even the coldest days. Where will the fire pit be located? Always ensure there is plenty of space between your pit and other structures such as walls, fences and your home. In addition, the fire pit should be securely placed on a hard, nonflammable surface such as the ground or stone surface. Fire pits should never be placed on a wooden deck, under an overhang or anything that could quickly catch fire. While it may seem obvious, fire pits should never be used indoors. There are many different materials used to create outdoor fire pits, this includes ceramic, stone, wrought iron, and copper. You will often find that high-quality metals such as copper and iron last longer and retain their heat far better than other materials such as stone. Some pits come with added features such as grills and windows, which allow you to easily cook or BBQ, perfect for family get-togethers during the summer. Open or closed fire pits are also style choices. Open pits give you that natural campfire feel, yet they wonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t retain heat as well as closed pits such as bowls.

#HOMEOWNERLIFESTYLE

What fuel source should the fire pit use? This is important because your space restricts your options. A dilemma for many first-time fire pit buyers is deciding whether to obtain a pit that utilizes gas such as propane, or a wood burning fire pit that utilizes firewood as the fuel source. If you love the sound of a crackling fire and an aroma of burning wood, then wood might be the choice for you. Wood fire pits need plenty of space to ventilate properly, and will require more maintenance since it produces ash that you will need to clean regularly. You can also burn charcoal, however, like wood, charcoal will require clean up after use. A gas fire pit is a popular choice thanks to its ease of use and low maintenance. Propane or natural gas pits can be used on open porches with overhead roofs, and are generally neater, with no pile of wood, ashes, smoke or other debris to contend with. Which type of fire pit is for you? Portable fire pits offer the most flexibility and versatility and come in a variety of [15]

shapes, sizes, materials and can meet almost any budget requirement. They can range from small to full size outdoor dining fire tables. They can be fueled by burning wood, natural gas, propane or gel. You can even take them with you if you move. With permanent fire pits, you have the advantage of being able to design them to blend in with your existing patio or yard, even matching the materials already in place. Styles of fire pits include basic metal fire bowls to elaborate, multi-level and multifunctional units. Other possibilities include square models that resemble low tables. The term fire bowl covers a wide range of designs and can be made from many different fire resistant materials. Some are designed on a stand or have legs to raise them off the ground. Many models combine the qualities of two of the most social hubs of the home - fireside warmth and grilling table. Most fire pits are easy on the budget, with a nice, safe model available for under $300 or so. Fire tables and pits that use more expensive materials can climb upwards in cost.

ONSET BEACH, WAREHAM

The Southcoast has been somewhat of a secret for decades. Today major corporations are flocking to the region for low labor cost and great deals and incentives to build here. The region has also seen an influx from the greater Boston area from people who are looking for quality of life communities to raise their families. The coastal regions that make up the Southcoast have become the new South Shore with affordable homes, good schools and much less congestion and traffic. There are city living, country living and some of the best waterfront communities in New England. The Southcoast is 50 miles south of Boston along the coastline of Buzzards Bay. The region has 13 cities and towns in Massachusetts, and two in Rhode Island, Little Compton and Tiverton. The region is also known as the “Farm Coast” because of its rich agricultural lands, family farms and wineries. The commercial fishing industry in New Bedford generates over 1 billion in revenue which is the largest in the U.S. Fresh locally grown and locally caught sustainable food sources are plentiful in the region at affordable prices. From Wareham to Rhode Island these cities #HOMEOWNERLIFESTYLE

and towns have a rich history and are blessed with protected harbors, beautiful beaches, recreation areas and state parks. There is room to live, room to breathe and room to grow with easy access to all major city markets and one of New England’s best and most convenient airports, T. F. Green Airport in RI. By 2022 rail service is expected to be completed to the region as well making for easy and affordable commuting to greater Boston. With only 350,000 residents living in nearly 500 square miles, population density has a real rural feel and traffic is rarely a major issue. In comparison, Greater Boston has nearly 5 million residents in the same land area. There is everything from small city affordable living, moderately prices suburban living and luxury waterfront and water view homes to choose from. We recommend you contact your realtor for housing opportunities and additional community information on any communities listed in our review.

“The building itself was designed by a talented architect Chris Velleca, Federal Hill Group and gives the Jewelry District a modern cornerstone building to the landscape. At the end of the day we have a brand-new building with modern fixtures and no wear or tear. Our 30 units are very unique with over-sized windows that bring in plenty of natural sunlight while providing natural views. In comparison to other residential buildings downtown we offer more square footage for the price. Finally, Kenwood Construction, who also built ‘The Premiere’ Building on the Eastside did a tremendous job. I think the Royale Residents will be extremely comfortable with the place they chose to call home.” Henry Mu – Developer & Owner
