e "J House"

hen the owners came to Seabrook, they found
a stunning lot and immediately fell in love. With
beautiful views of the ocean over the marsh and an unusual
shape, the lot was unbuildable for years—no one could
figure out how to build a house on it. No one, that is, until
Marc. Nicknamed the "J House," the home is laid out in the
shape of the letter "J." The fact that the wife's name also
starts with the letter was a fun coincidence.
The "J" shape capitalizes on the unusual lot and allows for
beautiful views throughout the house. The common areas
flow gently into one another, always with a view to the ocean.
The living room features an array of textures, from the ceiling
to the fireplace, millwork, and floor. The space opens to the
dining room with its large windows, fine detailing, and arched
transition to the kitchen. Beyond the arch, a substantial
kitchen island provides food preparation and dining space.
Custom cabinetry and professional-grade appliances carry
the sophistication of the home into the more utilitarian spaces.
On the other side of the floor plan sits the master suite, with
the husband's office above it. One of the most noteworthy
aspects of this home is that it lives for the owners. It is
incredibly zoned, with a front and back staircase, and two
separate home offices for privacy.
