Spend your next beach vacation rocking on the roomy wraparound porch at “Cardwell”. This seemingly ocean front home sports great ocean vistas and was designed by an architect associate of Frank Lloyd Wright. Although this home is technically one home back from the beach front, the unique staggered tons on the north end of the island ensure picture ideal vistas and a feeling of privacy. The private road with no public parking will make you feel as though you have the beach to yourself. Don’t miss your chance to vacation in this one-of-a-kind bungalow!
The main living level of “Cardwell” has a huge living-dining area with cathedral ceilings. A series of sliding glass doors wrap the home to allow natural light to flood the living space and showcase the beautiful vistas beyond. The kitchen and bathrooms have been lightly refreshed to make a comfortable space to prepare home cooked meals for the family. A sizable dining table provides ample seating and opens to the main living space that is furnished with plenty of seating options. Just off the kitchen is a modest multi-purpose room that includes a bunk bed (twin over twin), half bathroom, and laundry facilities.
Down the hall on the main living level is a full bathroom that serves the close by guest room that is furnished with two beds, a twin, and a queen. This guest room has a enormous sliding glass door that leads to the ocean side deck and offers a nice view of the ocean. The primary suite is located at the end of the hall and features a lush kind sized bed, walk in closet, dual vanity, walk in shower, and gives direct access to the wraparound porch. Wake up each morning to the waves crashing and palms blowing in the soft breeze.
A spiral staircase located in the living room gives this home unique character and leads to the top floor where there are three additional bedrooms. At the top of the stairs, you will find a full bathroom complete with a walk-in shower. This bathroom serves the upstairs bedrooms. To your left is a guest room with a queen-size bed and constructed-in seating. This bedroom overlooks the main living area below and features some very eye-catching angles designed by the architect. To the right of the stairs there is a second guest bedroom with a queen bed that is framed by a series of windows that make the room feel bright and airy. This guest room also overlooks the living area below and directly leads to the third bedroom which provides a full bed. Given that the full bedroom directly connects to the queen guest room this sleeping arrangement is ideal for families with modest kids.
If you are looking for a vacation home with ample outdoor space, great vistas, worry complimentary parking, a stellar location, tons of appeal, and all the amenities of home then look no further. This home has a lot to offer and is sure to provide a space for a memorable family vacation!
