On the Inlet...

stevieb — Tue, 05 Jul 2022 22:21:44 GMT

For those who like a water view... I have to say, though I like the stairway, this decor is not remotely my cup of tea, but the house and location by the water certainly appeal to many...

@stevieb

Love the house and the view BUT I would gut it and decorate my way.

Forget living on the water @stevieb I love the house. I like the clean modern lines. I can think of a few tweaks to make it mine.

I'm going to step back and let the rest of you fight over this house.😄

Living in the land of 10,000 lakes, I have way higher expectations for a "water view". Doesn't anyone else get swamp vibes?

It's a beautiful home. The water view isn't as beautiful.

Although it is not what I would pick out for me, I absolutely love the way the house is decorated and could move right in and be happy as a clam! Which I maybe could see!

I like the water view too, better than no water view, not as wonderful as some, but I love the house! The clean lines, the colors and the light are exactly what I'd want!

Keep in mind that this water view isn't on the ocean, it's on a sound or an inlet, generally separated from the ocean by a cape or barrier island. Hence there's a more marsh-like appearance. As such, to me, this doesn't have the same appeal as an ocean or lake water view, though I'm not one who necessarily seeks a water view in the first place!

Living in Northern MI, oh I get it!

A water view is nice but I'd prefer mine with a mountain behind it. I bet if you ventured down to that fire pit, mosquitos would carry you away before the fire got built.

Absolutely, my first thought was swamp land. No thanks

@stevieb , love the house. That spot with the stone patio should be screened in. Although this is not my idea of lovely waterfront, this would be very interesting to watch wildlife. These bogs are an important part of the ecosystem keeping bodies of water clean. LM

I rather like the marsh view. Waterfowl and wildlife would be abundant. I'm sure I would worry about an alligator encounter so I'd not be sitting at that outdoor table.

@mspatmac... I'd probably pass on the house and the view but do agree that if this place were mine, I'd start over with very different decor... This is all just a bit too modern and sterile for my liking...

Though it wouldn't appear cost was a significant factor, this home appears to be near North Carolina's Outer Banks and so one has to assume that by building near the sound rather than actually on the Atlantic, costs were more contained. It could also be the homeowners wanted to be near the ocean without actually being on the ocean.

I think it's lovely. Being an inlet you may not have as many bugs as you would think. At least the water does tend to move some so it's really not like a swamp that stands still.

It would be perfect for kayaking and depending where it's located I don't think crocodiles would actually be an issue. I could live there

Not my favorite furnishings or water view. The windows, patio, and staircase are nice. The bedroom is ok.

I do not care for the environment , not something I would live near. The house is nice but I would have to empty it and decorate to my taste, this is too modern for me.

Ok now that's stunning all of it. LOVE ❤️

Even though it;s nice to look out and see that view, it looks like it's on a marsh which means bugs, a lot of them. And unless there is anothe side of the property, it doesn't look like there i boat access either. It's pretty and I wouldn't turn it down if given to me but I wouldn't want to be on water property without boat access and not a marsh. I think the decor is pretty too.
