House Crush N°38—Sea Island

Sea Island cottage
What a little charmer!

 

Cedar shakes, white trim, boxwood and a gravel drive welcome guests to this charming cottage on Sea Island. Nestled on a corner lot, the surrounding garden is gorgeous and green with little surprises around every corner.

From the arched gate to the elegant side additions, this place charms. I love the new upper-level side oval window and the back entry door surround with its diamond pattern cutouts—details make this home magical!

I love seeing an original cottage that has simply been renovated—not replaced. Mr. P even remembers staying here with his family—how sweet is that. Always remember to look for the details that draw you in … then go home and include a few in your own home.

Happy detail hunting!
