The main level of the home accommodates gatherings with easy flow between the living room, dining area, kitchen, and outdoor deck. The midlevel offers a lounge, bedroom suite and the master bedroom, complete with access to a private deck. The family room, kitchenette, and beach bath on the lower level open to an expansive backyard patio. At the top of the nest is the loft area, which provides a bunk room and extra guest bedroom suite.
Designed by Visbeen Architects and interiors by Benchmark Wood Studio, this home brings bungalow home design to the next level, with style, inspiring architecture and views that will certainly impress you. Take a look!

Hi, my friends! How are you doing today? I am feeling happy and I hope I could share a little bit of this good energy through this post with you.
I think I got in this happy mood after talking to a very good friend of mine. I admit, I feel I should get in touch with my friends more often, but having a busy life like I do, it can get really hard sometimes to have time to call or get together, but I know I should do this more often.
I love talking for hours… Who needs a therapist when you have a really good friend (or all of you) to talk to, right? 🙂
Yes… I am feeling very blessed right now for having some wonderful people in my life!
Look around and I am sure you’ll see someone that has always being there for you too.
Let’s pay attention to that today, and then, let’s share our gratitude with them.
