We bought this house 18 years ago.
We had been renting a week in the Summer at various cottages for about ten years before.
I am from Massachusetts. At Cape Cod, you walk to the beach. We live in New Jersey. In New Jersey, everyone is on the beach from six rows of houses deep. So, about 28 years ago, we had decided that we would rather drive to the Outer Banks than deal with the stop and stop traffic from the Jersey Shore.
In 1995, the place we were staying at ,Mrs. Fitzsimmons place, which we liked, was for sale.
We asked about buying it but Chris Corbett had it already under contract. The real estate agent. Jennifer Place, motivated us to look for an ocean front house. When we saw this one, we fell in love with it. It was large, well designed,and really made you feel that you were at the beach.
