Nestled alongside the manicured greens of a premier golf course in Southern Coastal Massachusetts, the “Golfers Retreat” stands as a testament to architectural craftsmanship, refined luxury, and the timeless appeal of golf course living. Designed by Yarosh Associates and built by MacKenzie Brothers, this custom home combines New England character with thoughtful modern innovation—a true jewel on the Cape.
Designed for the Discerning Homeowner: A Look Inside Golfers’ Retreat
From the moment you arrive, the home’s architectural intent is unmistakable. A barrel-style front entry with a copper roof sets a warm and welcoming tone, introducing the curved geometry and artisanal detail that carry throughout the home.
Once inside, you’re met with a gracefully curved staircase, an engineering feat that doubles as a sculptural centerpiece. Underfoot, custom-engineered wood flooring extends throughout the home, grounding each room in natural warmth and continuity. It’s the kind of foundation that only skilled craftsmen and careful design collaboration can produce.
Layout and Flow: Function Meets Form
Spanning 3,865 square feet on the first floor and 1,435 square feet on the second, Golfers Retreat is spacious and purposefully segmented. The layout allows for privacy, flow, and comfort—essentials in any luxury home.
- The primary suite includes a spa-like bath with an oversized two-person steam shower, ensuring a daily escape into calm.
- Two guest bedrooms, each with private en suite baths, allow friends and family to enjoy their retreat within the home.
- Above the garage, a dedicated exercise room ensures wellness is built into the home’s daily rhythm.
Entertaining Elevated: Kitchen, Bar & Covered Porch
The custom kitchen and bar area are more than culinary spaces—they’re centers of gravity for gathering. Designed with both style and functionality in mind, these areas are tailored for casual family mornings and elegant evening entertaining.
Just beyond, the 476-square-foot covered rear porch is fully outfitted with a built-in kitchen, making it ideal for al fresco dining. With electric storm panels and screens, the porch transforms effortlessly between open-air living and protected shelter, extending Cape Cod’s outdoor season with comfort and ease.
Light, Stone, and Craftsmanship: Signature Details
Attention to detail is evident in every material choice and design flourish:
- The home’s custom lighting program enhances mood and architecture, creating ambiance in every corner, especially under the coffered ceilings that lend grandeur to main living areas.
- A New England fieldstone fireplace anchors the living room with natural texture and timeless charm.
- Custom woodwork throughout the home—from built-ins to millwork—reinforces the unique, handcrafted character of the build.
Views and Vision: Golf Course Living on Cape Cod
Situated on the edge of a golf course, the home offers serene views of fairways and a quiet pond. Large windows frame these scenes like artwork, reminding you that a connection to the outdoors, especially with the Cape’s coastal climate, is a luxury in its own right.
A Blueprint for Cape Cod Luxury Homes
Golfers Retreat isn’t just a residence—it’s a blueprint for what luxury custom homes can be on Cape Cod and Southern Coastal Massachusetts. With an emphasis on natural materials, architectural excellence, and lifestyle-focused amenities, it reflects the evolving desires of homeowners seeking a balance of form, function, and location.
