BEACH & BAY COTTAGE TOUR SNEAK PEEK #7
Oceanside transformation by a “Serial Renovator”
Having outgrown their bayside Fenwick townhouse as their family expanded from six to fourteen, the owners began a years-long search for a larger space. Their search ended in 2022 with the purchase of a large 1990 home in the nearby oceanside Curves neighborhood. Although the house required significant work, it had solid bones, seven bedrooms and stunning ocean views from multiple vantage points.
As a self-described “serial renovator” the owner was undeterred by the need for repairs and immediately undertook a full update, completing the transformation in 2023. The modern coastal design features clean lines, expansive windows to capture the ocean views and an open concept with light wood floors to foster airy spaciousness. The home’s style blends the relaxed charm of coastal living with the rustic warmth of farmhouse design, incorporating natural accents of driftwood and woven linen textures to enhance the cozy ambiance. Favorite pieces crafted by local artisans coupled with weathered metal lighting fixtures add character to the comfortable atmosphere. A lower-level family room leads to a private pool and recently updated pool house offering plenty of opportunities for this growing family to relax and enjoy their oceanside retreat.
This beautiful home is one of seven properties on the 33rd Beach & Bay Cottage Tour available for in-person visits with a Combo ticket. Like all ten featured homes in the 2025 Tour, it can also be explored virtually by holders of either Combo or Virtual tickets. Each property will have a professionally produced video—complete with bird’s-eye drone footage—that Tour patrons can watch as often as they like during the three-week virtual period on any internet-enabled device. Hostesses for this week’s home will be furnished by the Coastal Gardeners, the Ladies of Windhurst Manor, Bear Trap Ladies, Linda Broderick and Friends, and Friends of Eileen Giaquinto.
The 33rd Beach & Bay Cottage Tour is proudly presented by Leslie Kopp and The Leslie Kopp Group, and this home is also sponsored by Platinum Sponsor CRx Construction.
Combo tickets: $50 (limited availability; grants one entry per home on either day of the Tour)
Virtual-only tickets: $35
The Cottage Tour is produced by the Friends of the South Coastal Library. All net proceeds directly benefit the library’s operations.
