LOW-KEY LIVING

IT WAS A PERFECT MOMENT OF SYNCHRONICITY. Interior designer Anna Orfanides was standing in the new house with the homeowners and builder, who had gathered to see the results of their creative work. Pausing in the sunny kitchen of the riverfront beauty, Orfanides soaked in the ambiance of the Newburyport home.

“Il was rushing to get to the house, and then I slowed down and stepped into the kitchen,” says Orfanides, principal designer of Anna O Design in Peabody. She turned and saw the excitement on the homeowners’ faces. It was so special. A project like this is personal.”

The house, with the stately spirit of New England coastal Shingle style, is perched on a section of the Merrimack River—a meandering, storybook-like waterway lined with dramatic chunks of granite—with a perfect view of the historic suspension chain bridge. The ocean is a hop and a skip away, by a boat ride that passes by Deer Island and Eagle Pass.

The homeowners, a Connecticut couple who are retiring to Newburyport to be near their families, wanted to come home, in a literal and figurative sense. They wanted a low-key, down-to-earth home, something warm and inviting,” Orfanides says.

For Orfanides, who worked with builder Jay McPartland of McPartland Corp., in Amesbury, the interiors were all about the natural world outside: Let the outdoors speak to the design.”
