home of distinction cottageC O N T EMP O R A R Y When the boxy, hip-roofed Holland Cottage went on the market a few years ago, Sarah and Paul Casey of Chapel Hill realized the timing was just right to make their dream of a family vacation home in Wrightsville Beach a reality. At the time living an ocean away with three children, on the front end of a two-year work assignment in Singapore, “We bought the house via email,” Sarah says. “It was next-door to Paul’s sis-ter and her family. We have children the same ages, plus Paul’s mother has a beach house here. We are a close family, and definitely a full house when we are together. So the timing was just right.” BY Lou Anne Liverman PHOTOGRAPHY BY Joshua Curry ASSISTED BY Jon Benton, MacKenzie Schmidt, Hannah Williams The many facades of the Casey summer home reveal architectural details blending elements of traditional coastal styles articulated in cedar shingles and lapstrake boat siding, exposed rafter tails and copper downspouts, clerestory windows in the engaged stair tower, cantilevered decks and buttresses, Carolina blue porch ceilings and an abundance of outdoor spaces. 64 WBM august 2014
