As children we loved to play 'house' in the small bedroom and bath in the upper loft, accessed by a custom-made iron spiral stairway. Paper airplanes also festooned the living room below from eager young 'pilots' stationed in the loft. A large side yard is perfect for croquet, badminton, volleyball, or spirited games of wiffleball, watched admiringly from adults relaxing on the nearby deck. A winding path off the driveway leads down to the inlet, where all manner of animals can be observed in their natural habitat. The Wheel House is named for the enormous ship's wheel mounted high over the vaulted-ceiling living room, making the house feel like a ship, particularly in storms. Walks to the beach for smooth heart-shaped rocks, shells and sea glass have been our family passion for decades.
