Making a Splash: 5 Idyllic Waterfront Homes - Sotheby´s International Realty | Blog

Abstract

From Cape Cod to California, these five waterfront homes are buoys for modern-day living, offering enviable views and the soothing sounds of harbor, river, and ocean waters from West Coast to East. Highlights include inviting living and dining areas, a lower-level media room, four bedrooms-each with its own deck-a gym or additional bedroom, an elevator, four warming fireplaces, central air conditioning, an outdoor shower, glorious irrigated grounds, and a refreshing pool-all with sweeping water views. Painstakingly renovated, it encourages indoor-outdoor living and entertaining and boasts a sophisticated living room, a formal dining room, a gourmet kitchen, a main-level primary suite with a lavish bath and dressing room, two welcoming guest bedrooms, a sunroom with a balcony, a family room, and a limestone patio with covered and open-air spaces. In addition to a sunlight-flooded great room and a well-equipped chef's kitchen, it features three bedrooms-each with double glass doors to an outdoor space-and gardens with the ambience of a tropical oasis. The La Costa Beach Club offers a beach, tennis and volleyball courts, and a trellised picnic area with a commercial kitchen and grill. It features three bedrooms-including a primary suite with a vaulted ceiling, a woodstove, a study, and a large river-view balcony-a light-filled kitchen and breakfast area, living and dining rooms, two family rooms, a wonderful covered deck, a flagstone terrace, emerald lawn that rolls toward the water, and a private floating dock. In addition to three bedrooms, it offers elegant living and dining spaces, a cheerful kitchen and family room, an office or craft room, a 600-square-foot studio, and multiple fireplaces and outdoor living and entertaining areas.
