Designed by Orr & Taylor architects, Rosewalk is an intimate grouping of smaller cottages centered on a shared common area known as ''Rosewalk.'' The cottages and garden structures have been carefully positioned to preserve the indigenous scrub oak, magnolias and native plants which provide summer shade and incredible privacy. A screened porch lines the entire front of the cottage blurring the line between indoors and out and functions as additional living space. The first floor offers kitchen, living room with vaulted ceiling, dining room, guest bedroom, bathroom and washer/dryer. The master bedroom and bath are located on the second floor to optimize privacy. Mid-level is a spacious loft which could function as an office or a third bedroom. Tall double-hung windows are used in abundance to provide plenty of natural light, illuminating a cool white, all-wood interior. Built-in bookcases frame the staircase and provide storage for those campy beach reads or to showcase your collection of seashells. Located directly across the street from the beach, you can dig your toes into the sugar white sand in a matter of minutes. Location couldn't be better!
