When you build your waterfront home, you might have a private dock. Here’s how to keep it in great shape.
When the weather gets warm, there is nothing more that many people would love to do than to be outdoors. Spending time in the great outdoors is one of the best ways to unwind, soak up some sunshine, and enjoy life to the fullest. Outdoor living features should be a part of the total custom home design. With Shore-Line Construction in Maryland, outdoor living ideas for waterfront homes could look like the following.
Luxury Patio
Granted that your backyard doors open onto the ground level, a beautiful paver patio could be the ideal platform on which to step outside and enjoy the sights and sounds of your waterfront home. A luxury patio could include additions like sitting walls, outdoor kitchens, fireplaces, and more. They typically come in brick, stone, or cement.
Multi-Tiered Deck
A simple deck might work best for your custom home, but likely, you could take advantage of the terrain and the house’s dimensions to create a custom deck that suits all of your outdoor living goals. If the landscape slopes or you have backdoors at multiple levels, a multi-tiered deck would work best.
Balconies
There is something blissful and restful about having a private balcony to yourself. With a custom waterfront home, it is possible to build balconies off of bedrooms, second-story living spaces, etc. Each balcony could be a gathering spot or a private retreat.
Screened Porch or Sunroom
Whether you have a deck, a patio, or neither, it is still possible to add an outdoor living space that shelters you from the harshest elements. A screened porch lets the breeze in at all times, while a sunroom is fully enclosed and optimal during spring through fall.
A Private Dock
With a waterfront home that has riparian rights (rights to shoreline access,) your outdoor living ideas can look a little different. Complete your home with a private dock that leads to your boat, kayak, etc.
Bringing the Outdoors In
While technically not an outdoor living space, your home’s interior can bring the outdoors in through many designs. Strategically-placed windows, skylights, sun tunnels, and more can make your home feel sunny, spacious, and bright.
