This house and adjacent carriage house offer plenty of opportunity for lounging after a long day on the lake. Truly coastal in nature, whitewashed wood and reclaimed timber beams accent the interior, throughout.
An incredible open kitchen and dining room provide the perfect backdrop for entertaining around the two-story great room fireplace. A coastal cottage that boasts incredible character and detail. Whitewashed wood inside and out, reclaimed wood beams, and a great outdoor fireplace for relaxing after a day on the lake.
