Description
Known as Above Tide, this custom home next to Clam Shell Park reflects quality craftsmanship and a strong connection to its surroundings. Thoughtfully reimagined by Blue Sky from its original cottage, it offers a refined, grounded oceanfront living experience. A spacious entry leads into the main living area, where vaulted ceilings and warm wood create a sense of volume and ease. The layout is oriented to the water, with expansive windows and shifting natural light throughout the day. The kitchen is positioned to take in the ocean, with a pantry and an easy flow into the main living space. To one side, a curved window room with a woodstove offers a quiet place to take in the view. Two bedrooms are on the main level, with an additional bedroom and den upstairs. A large deck extends the living space outdoors, and an outbuilding offers additional storage or workspace. An ever-changing seascape—whales, sea lions, and eagles—unfolds just beyond, with the shoreline steps away.
