A home is complete when it has space to take in the great outdoors.
A waterfront home has the wonderful addition of a water view, but is it really complete if there is no place to sit outside and take it in? If you are dreaming of owning a waterfront home in Maryland, Shore-Line Construction can help you make it a reality. Complete yours with one or more of these seven outdoor living space ideas for waterfront homes.
1. Sunroom
A sunroom is an affordable home addition that may or may not have a glass roof along with wraparound windows. This bright home extension gives you an extra bonus room that is quite flexible in use. Ceiling fans, fireplaces, and more can help regulate temperatures in summer and winter.
2. Screened Porch
A screened porch lets the outdoor air flow through the room at all times, unless you insulate it with screens or curtains. A screened porch lets you feel like you are outdoors while getting much-needed shade and shelter on hot or rainy days. Best of all, you are safe from bugs.
3. Porch
Alternatively, you could simply have a porch with no screening. Some of Shore-Line Construction’s custom homes feature wraparound porches, front porches, or back porches that make the most of the waterfront view.
4. Patio
If you prefer to sit on the lawn but would like to be on solid ground, a patio is the answer. Concrete, brick, and natural stone patios offer many different colors, patterns, and textures; there is a patio design out there that can complement your home.
5. Deck
Some homes place the main living areas at a higher elevation to avoid flood damage. An inverted house plan is a good example. In this case, a backyard deck could be a great option.
6. Balcony
Balconies are like smaller decks, except that you can only access them from the house and not the yard. Balconies are lovely features for second-story rooms like bedrooms, offices, and landings.
7. Private Dock
It’s also possible to sit out on a private dock if your waterfront home has water access. With a waterfront home, you can sit at the water’s edge or set sail into nature.
