RYAN KERLIN PAINtINg & Power Washing 910-617-8 252 Serving Coastal Carolina Since 1997 “The main goal aesthetically was to breathe new life into the structure by bringing more natural light into the house, while updating the exterior finishes and details to give the house a more traditional North Carolina beach char-acter," Kersting says. For this purpose, casement windows were strategically placed throughout to infuse the house with more natural light, and also offer panoramic views of the home’s natural marsh setting. Traditional coastal exterior elements, such as gray shingles and white trim, add to the home’s overall simple, yet elegant exterior detail. The home’s ground level provides open-air living and entertaining spaces, delineated seating, dining and lounging areas on both cov-ered and uncovered sections of its decked porch. An outdoor shower and ample storage round out the perimeter of the home’s outside thoroughfare, while steps away the meticulously landscaped back lawn now offers a lush, open setting as a welcome alternative to the trees that once obscured the water view. 86 WBM september 2014
