Architect designed restored and new construction, on the oceanfront....beauty!

Property Photo

Lately, I've been very lucky to be showing many homes designed by architects.

There is a difference!

This beauty began as a 1910 Arts & Crafts home, on a crawl space.    The owner had it moved/barged onto my Island area, and then hired a Quebec based architect to add a garden level (storage, plus oceanside "suite"), and an upper level (master/sitting/ensuite).   

The restoration of the original, and the design/construction of the new, are a seamless blend.

Not sure that I would have ever thought of linking the three spaces via a glass tower/dramatic staircase (on opposite side of home, from this view).

It's a plus that it's oceanfront, but the home is delectable on its own.

Beauty!
