OCEANVIEW CONTEMPORARY

Taken from the architectural style of the British West Indies, this custom residence makes full advantage of its beachside location. Over 1,200SF of covered wraparound porches welcome sunshine and sea breeze and seamlessly blend indoor and outdoor living with several ocean views. Thoughtfully designed to gracefully accommodate all manner of lifestyle needs and desires, the first floor offers a generous gathering room opening to the porches. A small kitchen and half bath keep things easy.

Sleeping quarters include two comfortable bedrooms with a private shared bath. A large laundry room is within easy reach downstairs. Before going upstairs, take in the rich wood floors and cabinets, the deeply veined granite and the creamy tile – these natural materials complement each other with lovely form and function. On the second floor the east side is taken up with the great room and kitchen with French doors opening to the porch. The en-suite master is a restful retreat at the end of the day or any time, for that matter. Well placed windows let in the light but maintain the privacy and you can enjoy morning coffee or evening cocktails from the porch.

A flex room over the garage measures 22 x 20 with three dormer window alcoves. An excellent space for an office, playroom for “kids” of all ages, a media room or an overflow guestroom. There’s ample room to add a bathroom if required. The side entry garage is at the back of the house off the alleyway and there’s an outdoor stairway leading to the second floor. Located three doors away from the northern beach walk, it will be easy to make time for a daily stroll or run along the surf.

Sea Colony is a favorite oceanfront community with a rich diversity of architectural styles suited to the beach lifestyle. A community pool with clubhouse and several beach walks make access to the amenities simple. With its clean lines and those terrific porches under the deep overhangs (you’ll stay dry in a gentle rain), this home offers that classic look with an extremely comfortable and casual ambiance throughout. The Hardiboard construction means you can spend more time enjoying yourself instead of worrying about maintenance. Make it your own.
