Coastal cottage charm. Newly renovated by an interior designer, this island residence blends beachside elegance and southern coziness with luxury furnishings to create a chic but relaxing home from home. The whitewashed clapboard exterior with beautiful porch area set amongst whimsical moss-covered oaks and palms makes a welcoming scene which carries on through the residence. The calm coastal palette is complimented by handpicked textiles, wallpapers and artworks which add color, character and warmth while stainless steel appliances and crisp white walls maintain a light, bright and contemporary feel. We love the residence’s breezy feel and thoughtful detailing – from the nature inspired staircase to the fun nautical wallpaper in the kids’ bedrooms. Cozy nooks have been crafted throughout so there is plenty of stylish hangout space to choose from.
