Waterfront Dream Homes
By Alyssa Mammano
For beachfront homeowners, living on the water provides unimpeded access to sun, sand and surf. For those who choose an alternative waterfront lifestyle, such as on a lake or river, privacy and connection with nature may be the allure. Regardless of preference, there is a waterfront home to suit any seafarer’s appetite.
Most waterfront homeowners are looking for a home outside the norm; and the lifestyle that comes along with it. Ambiance and views play a large role in seeking out the ideal waterfront dream home. Are you looking for seclusion and privacy? Lakefront homeowners often enjoy separation from neighboring homes and a hidden site surrounded by lush vegetation. Prefer to be in a centralized location? The shores of oceanfront beaches boast colorful open-air homes.
