Coastal Haven Designer Show House

The Museum of Old Newbury's first designer show house features a historic property built c.1810 and transformed in 2016 by a visionary architect and twelve creative designers. 
 
Originally a working farm, 284 Water Street is located in the heart of Newburyport's riverside Joppa neighborhood.  The home's historic charm and stunning location on the Merrimack River make it a quintessential New England property, while its sensitive renovation and expansion lend modern luxury. 
 
Coastal Haven boasts both original features like wide pine floors, and modern updates like an open kitchen with a large island.  These elements blend seamlessly, making the home comfortable, functional, and stylish.  The home's impressive renovation was conceived by renowned Newburyport architect Andrew Sidford. 
 
With renovations complete, interior designers participated in a juried selection process for the chance to design, furnish, and decorate a room.  The designers selected are among the finest on the North Shore, and their work celebrates the home's rich history, serene coastal setting, and its modern transformation.  Each room showcases the designer's unique style and skill and works in harmony with the rest of the house, breathing new life into this historic property.

Tour the home to see the latest trends in interior design, gather ideas for your own home makeover, see the expertise of over a dozen different designers, and experience the transformation of a historic working farm to a contemporary Coastal Haven.
