BEACH & BAY COTTAGE TOUR SNEAK PEEK #8

Waterfront Home with Sweeping Views of the Bay

The owner’s bayfront home on Fenwick Island, completed in 2022, has its architectural details and craftmanship on full display.  The curved entry roof, splayed front stairs, and custom decorative railings heighten the home’s curb appeal.  The generous-sized front parking area hints at the owners’ love of sharing their home with family and friends.  First-time visitors know they are in for a treat even before they enter this majestic home.

The home’s layout takes full advantage of the spectacular, sweeping views of the bay to the west and the canals to the east.  Inside, windows of varying shapes and sizes frame the amazing views, no matter the room.  Outside, expansive multi-level decks, a dock, and a pier make one grateful to be living on the water.  Adding to the outdoor experience, as many as twelve people can enjoy the vistas from the deck while enjoying the Swim Spa with a swim current.  It is hard to describe but often the separation between inside and outside spaces blur, which is quite remarkable.

The interior of the home is clothed in white, which serves as the perfect canvas for modern furnishings and coastal textures.  One soon learns that elegance and comfort can co-exist beautifully.  A large, wide foyer with a stunning white pendant resembling coral reef provides a serene introduction to the home.  A relaxed seating area at the foyer’s end is flanked by a bank of windows to enjoy the bay.  The immaculate and roomy kitchen has a corner farmhouse apron sink reminiscent of New England, and a large quartz countertop with seating to encourage conversation and shared food prep.  Just beyond, a custom-made round dining table with a lazy susan insert can easily seat ten people, perfect for family-style dining.   In the family room, a masterfully crafted cupola adds height and architectural interest and bathes the room in sunlight.

While this home offers an idyllic haven for adults, children may feel the home is a playground just for them.  A family bunkroom with nautical décor off the foyer beckons children to play.  A large children’s bunkroom with a shark pendant, whimsical pictures of sea creatures, and a whale’s tail for towels offers plenty of room to play and time to enjoy the company of other children.  Another children’s bedroom is outfitted with two arcade consoles with chairs perfectly sized for youngsters.
