Featured Home of the Month: A Contemporary Coastal Retreat in Shelter Island
Shelter Island, New York, located between Long Island’s North and South Forks, is known for its quiet beaches, open spaces, and laid-back lifestyle. This recently completed 1,724-square-foot Colonial-style custom modular home, built by Lee Falino LLC, reflects those qualities through its simple, modern design and thoughtful craftsmanship. Featuring three bedrooms and two-and-a-half baths, the home combines clean architectural lines, quality finishes, and efficient use of space to create a comfortable retreat in one of the Northeast’s most distinctive coastal communities.
A Striking Exterior Design
From the moment you arrive, the home’s striking charcoal board-and-batten exterior creates a memorable first impression. Clean lines, dramatic gabled rooflines, and black-framed windows give the residence a contemporary character while maintaining a timeless appeal. The layered roof design adds architectural interest and helps define the home’s unique profile
Bright, Functional Living Spaces
Inside, the home continues the modern style established by the exterior. Vaulted ceilings, simple finishes, natural wood flooring, and large windows contribute to the home’s clean, contemporary character. The open layout allows the dining and living areas to flow naturally together, creating a functional space for everyday living and entertaining.
Throughout the interior, the design emphasizes simplicity and quality. Light, neutral finishes provide a bright backdrop for the living spaces, while carefully selected materials create a cohesive look from room to room.
Thoughtful Details Throughout
The bathrooms reflect the same attention to detail found throughout the home. A double vanity, marble countertop, matte black fixtures, glass-enclosed shower, and tile finishes work together to create a clean, contemporary aesthetic. The combination of materials complements the overall design while providing durability and everyday functionality.
Design Without Compromise
This Shelter Island residence is an excellent example of the design possibilities available through modern modular construction. From its distinctive exterior architecture to its carefully selected interior finishes, the home reflects the homeowner’s vision at every turn. The project demonstrates that modular construction is not limited to a particular look or style—instead, it provides the flexibility to create homes that are highly customized, architecturally unique, and tailored to the way people live today.
