The house makes us
good
feel very chilled and calm — it has vibes .
“ looking out at the view of the bay from the master bedroom ,” Latham says . “ And I like watching the sunrise from the master bathroom .”
Outside , the home is tucked into the landscape on a gentle rise , backed by trees and flanked by marsh land that evokes a sense of privacy and serenity . The home ’ s creamy colored cedar shingles and numerous windows are highlighted with black window trim and a charcoal-colored roof . On the back deck , Meridian used open cable railing so as not to block the view and to add a nautical flair . It is surrounded with an unfussy bed of hydrangea and other native plants while cottage-style lattice hides the foundation .
That wraparound deck is another favorite homeowner destination . “ We love being out on the deck on a nice day — that ’ s been great through lockdown ,” Latham says .
One of the best features of the home ’ s location is that you are literally steps away from a beautiful beach . A meandering sandy path brings you right down to the sand , a perfect place for sunset and a cocktail . ◆
