Fernwood Neighborhood: Introducing Garden Lots

FERNWOOD

GARDEN LOTS

D T H E A R T OF TO W N MA KI NG

The town of Seabrook was first founded in 2004 by Casey and Laura Roloff and has affectionately become known as Washington’s Beach Town by locals and visitors alike.

Inspired by Seaside, Florida, Seabrook was built with a foundation of new urbanism design where homes, shops, and restaurants are now seamlessly woven into a scenic bluff

opportunity to build custom vacation homes, second homes, and primary residences that had architectural character and uncommon attention to detail.

Using new urbanist design principles and inspiration from the internationally recognized town of Seaside, Florida, they set out to build their first beach community, Bella Beach on the Oregon Coast.

Casey and Laura first met in high school and quickly realized they had one major thing in common: they loved the beach! After graduating college, they married and moved to the Oregon coast where they started their very first business painting houses.

As the Roloffs became more involved in the local community, they studied the local and national real estate markets and recognized an

Finding great success with Bella, they eventually looked northward towards Washington State for a similar opportunity. This led them to Grays Harbor County, where in 2004, along with their innovative design team, worked collaboratively to curate and develop Washington’s most celebrated beach town.

art of town making has been brought to life with a specialized design concept known as The New Urbanism.

Everything in the coastal town is purpose-built with walkability and connectivity intertwined with the beautiful coastal surroundings, signature of the Pacific Northwest.

Entering Seabrook is stepping into a welcoming, comfortable and charming atmosphere that has all been carefully planned and accomplished one home, retail space, amenity, or trail at a time.

Yes, cars are welcome (how else are you going to get here?), but you’ll be happy to leave them stowed away in a carriage house or along one of our tree-lined streets where on-street parking is actually encouraged to ensure safe streets for pedestrians and bicyclists.

In Seabrook, children play freely and safely, merchants quickly become staple stops of old and new patrons alike, and events bring the community together for conversation and memories made.

But we can’t forget about the beach. All roads (or in Seabrook’s case, walking trails) flow down to the magnificent allure of the Pacific Ocean. Seabrook’s three beach accesses provide a convenient way to enjoy and access the beach from our three oceanfront neighborhoods: NW Glen, Pacific Glen, and Elk Creek.

The connectivity also expands throughout the local community and county. The Seabrook Community Foundation awards grants to many Grays Harbor County Nonprofits with an emphasis on aiding Grays Harbor Youth.

Seabrook’s location is ideal for some of the best daytrip destinations in the Pacific Northwest. Many visitors spend time taking in the natural splendor of the Olympic National Park that expands for up to 123 miles from SR 109, Hidden Coast Scenic Byway.

From beautiful beaches to hiking in the old-growth forests with waterfall views and experiencing pristine lakes like Lake Quinault, there is so much to look forward to during an outdoor outing any time of the year.

OPPOR TU NIT Y ZONE

Opportunity Zones are neighborhoods that are economically under-developed per designated census tracts across the United States. Once an area is considered an Opportunity Zone, it maintains that status for a decade. Opportunity Zones are attractive for residential and commercial investors for tax incentives.

GARDEN

LOT S

Located in the Fernwood Neighborhood, the Garden Lots are ideally located with unobstructed view of Meadowview Park. These expansive homesites offer the opportunity for home and landscape customizations from private pools and gardens, to guest houses and home offices. Enjoy the wide open space surrounding the Garden Lots while remaining near the Elk Creek Corridor that leads to the beach. These homesites are just a short walk or bike ride to other town amenities such as the Sunrise Pool and Fitness Center in the South Farm neighborhood, Town Center, and beach.

THE VISION

FROM THE TEAM

Like every road and park in Seabrook, each home that is built is designed with an individual purpose for its aesthetic and use. As the design team looked at the Garden Lots, they wanted to dream up the vision of Easthaven Street as it will look in the future. Take a look at the inspiration for these homes and what will make them so unique as they take us to the furthest part of Seabrook’s town transect.

HEAR FROM THE DESIGN REVIEW BOARD

“These lots will have relatively larger farm-style homes but will afford you the ability to have additional ancillary structures so you can do everything from creating an additional guest house on it or a home studio or home office. In fact, we encourage additional buildings that make these lots have more of a farm-style aesthetic. They are also large enough to accommodate larger patios or terraces and things like pools or spas or saunas. Things like that really help you enjoy the Pacific Northwest living near the coast to the highest degree possible.”

“There aren't many lots with the ability to have your own private pool. But for those who want to be in the hospitality program, this could be a really unique feature that no one else has really had the opportunity to incorporate into their lots.”

CELEBRATING VIEWS AND CAPTURE LIGHT

“In fact, many of these house lots are oriented to where they are going to have some of the most spectacular views of the western sunset streaming right into their front porch, in addition to having the southern light reach parts of the yard available for great gardens.

“You can use the house and the lot all throughout the day. From the earliest of the morning for coffee and tea, to the middle of the afternoon gardening, to enjoying the western sunset. We want to encourage people to have residential-style greenhouses on their lots. Gardens for cut flowers, fresh gardens for culinary herbs and vegetables.”

USE THE LAND TO GROW FLOWERS, HERBS, & MORE

CREATE YOUR OWN ECOSYSTEM OF STRUCTURES

“The Garden Lots are going to be some of Seabrook’s largest lots with the most open space available for you to flexibly use your property.”

“We learned through the pandemic that working from home and being close to your family felt effortless here at the beach. These lots are large enough to accommodate additional structures, you can literally have a one-minute walk to work in your home office or studio. Whether that be photography, pottery, sculpting, painting, designing, writing, or coding. This is an creators dream to have a special property like this.”
