The story goes that this active family came to visit friends on the island, and questioned why they would go home. This prompted a rigorous search for that elusive “perfect” beach house.  Pleasant Beach… need we say more?! This older home had gone through a series of incremental renovations, and while well loved for many years by the prior family, the old gal was feeling her years. The new family loved her too, but as they set about crafting their vision with us, there quickly became more new than old in the end. Even still, the original spirit they loved was the guide for the refreshed design. A series of decks include features to make the most of each season, be it built in benches, the outdoor fireplace, retractable sun shades, or an outdoor kitchen; each works to extend living outside, close to the water at every opportunity.  Mission accomplished! Rumor has it that a long overdue sabbatical ensued conveniently within weeks of move in; the ultimate compliment.
