Tom and Barbara Lally's renovation of Brookmont-by-the-Sea makes the most of simple summer beauty and a daring position on the Maine coast.
Captivated by the ocean locale, the Lallys transformed a 1910 Craftsman-style summer cottage into a year-round retreat that sits only 30 feet from the high-water mark, allowing the highest tides to reach its porch skirt.
"We got so attached to this place. We wanted to be here more often and escape to it on a whim."
