CORPUS CHRISTI —
It’s easy to entertain in a home with four living areas and plenty of windows to take in the views of the Port Aransas waterfront. This resort-style home, with a modern, eclectic feel, offers two master bedrooms, dining space for a crowd and more than 6,000 square feet of living space.
Why do you love your home? The Coast House is a wonderful home for many reasons. Sitting on a canal with a private and covered boat basin, the water is literally right outside the back door. The home has very large and open living spaces which comfortably handles lots of overnight guests.
Why did you decide on this home: We love the Port Aransas area, living on the water and having very easy access to the Gulf of Mexico for offshore fishing.
One thing I’d change about my house: Perhaps having a second dishwasher for large amounts of guests.
Best home project I’ve completed here and why: The tackle room is fantastic room for organizing and working on all of the fishing equipment.
I get ideas/inspiration for my house by: Previous experiences with building other custom homes.
Something no one knows about my home: There is 103 feet of open room (no walls supporting the ceiling) from the front door to the back door. It creates an amazingly open feeling. The home is highly engineered and built to outlast a hurricane.
I save lots of money on my home by: Incorporating significant energy saving features.
A home item I can’t live without: Walking out the back door to see the water is perfect. You never know what you will find. A school of Black Drum or maybe a sea turtle.
Places where I find home furnishings: Stower’s San Antonio.
If my kitchen walls could talk… they would share all the family memories of homemade ice cream on the Fourth of July as well as other family holidays throughout the year. We have very special family traditions that we celebrate here.
What I like most about my home: With all of the glass windows and doors, the tropical landscape is brought inside the home.
My home’s most complimented feature: We cannot settle on just one thing. We are always getting compliments on the fountain, the game room, the 18 person dining area, or the exercise room.
Favorite room: (The) upstairs master bedroom. It has an outdoor balcony that overlooks a canal and you can watch the sunrise.
A funny story about my home: My husband will have his golf buddies over watching sports and in will walk one of our daughters with 10 of her closest friends. Our home welcomes all and we have a lot of fun.
Favorite home-related magazine: Coastal Living. It’s fun to see houses in other coastal areas and how they are decorated.
Unannounced guests would find my home… Inviting, pleasing to the senses, vibrant and continually interesting.
The most I have ever paid for an item in my home: Our resort landscaping and landscape lighting. Absolutely feels like you are arriving at a tropical resort when you pull up to the house.
This item would never make it through the front door: The 18-person dining table.
I can’t believe I put this in my home: A chandelier with monkeys, giraffes and lions.
Three items homeowners definitely need are: From having a home on the coast perspective: A natural gas generator (natural gas is typically not affected by tropical storms), a swimming pool, a pair of binoculars for bird watching (birds of every type are right outside the door in the yard and canals).
Worst home advice I ever received: You must have a fireplace.
Best home advice I ever received: Keep things low maintenance.
I have an impressive collection of… sports memorabilia.
My prized possession is… my grand piano.
My home can never have too many… windows.
