Solterre Design

Situated on a private waterfront lot with south-facing views of St. Margaret's Bay, the Seabright House is a solid 70s bungalow expanded into an elegant family home. Specifically, the renovation has added project rooms, extended-family living quarters and an intentional sense of Asian simplicity and openness.

The new formal vestibule serves as a storm porch with closets and leads into the home's open foyer and reception area. The core of the home is a wonderful kitchen with adjoining open dining overlooking the Bay, and a large, comfortable living room with fireplace. All share easy access to the original deck .

A new south facing sunroom and a sewing room are at the eastern end of the house. A large sun porch invites outdoor living, offering further water views and a stairway leading to the garden and ocean paths below. A powder room serves this eastern portion of the house, which also includes a garage, mudroom, second entrance and access to downstairs.

he lower level shares ocean views and walk out access to the gardens and paths beyond. With potential for a kitchenette, and rooms adequate for living and sleeping, the lower level currently serves the needs of extended family and could easily function as an independent living area.
