High, beamed ceilings, ocean-facing walls of glass, wood floors, fireplaces indoors and out, plus exquisite interiors by Steven Gambrel and artisan Venetian plaster work by Rex Pratt create an atmosphere of tranquil refuge by the sea.At the front of the house, a private, gated courtyard with sensational landscaping by Scott Shrader welcomes visitors and provides a quiet setting for conversation and contemplation.
