The Entry Hall
The full height entry hall extends to the beach side of the house, so the moment you step inside, you can see the ocean ! A unique and open stairway, made out of one huge fir tree selected from the property, leads to the upper hall 'bridge' which separates the master suite from the guest wing.
The Great Room
High vaulted clear cedar ceilings with skylights and a wall of windows and French doors fill this room with light, and careful positioning of cedar posts allows for expansive ocean views through a virtual 'wall of windows' which extends around the corner of this room. Terracotta tile flooring with in-floor hot water radiant heat keeps an even temperature year round.

A large sandstone fireplace adds a cosy ambiance to the 'great room' which is large enough to accomodate several seating groups ..... around the fire or by the windows.
