Lone Star Fish commands curbside charm from the moment it catches your eye! Behind the sunny yellow shutters and that candy apple red front door (which has been featured on Southern Livings social media) is a happy feast for the eyes. Once entered, youre greeted by a generous porch running the entire length of the house. Inside, a warm and inviting living room beckons you. The adjoining dine-in kitchen is spacious, bright and cheerful. Plenty of cabinets and storage space make for maximum efficiency. A charming guest bedroom, bathroom and laundry room complete the first floor. The second floor features a spacious and beautiful Master Suite with its own bathroom, sitting area and private porch. A hallway (with access to a second porch) runs from the Master Suite to a lovely second guest bedroom and bunk room (connected to a Jack-and-Jill bathroom). Moving up, the third levels enclosed tower has two observation decks offering stunning panoramic views of Seaside from sunup to sunset; and bountiful star glazing at night. Numerous built-in bookshelves here, and in other parts of the home, will display your favorite beach reads or those treasured first editions. Frog Pad (Guest House) is the perfect leap from the Main House to one of the most darling guest cottages in Seaside! Full kitchen, dining nook, living room, and half bath are located on the first floor. Upstairs is a beautiful Master Suite with a lovely and spacious sitting area (providing the perfect place for a cat nap or to curl up with a good book). Completing the Master Suite is a bathroom, plenty of closet space and a laundry amenity to make your guests most comfortable. Frog Pad can make a great rental cottage on its own; or combined with the Main House, it completes this beautiful Seaside family compound. Outside there are several lovely, shaded seating areas for winding down at the end of the day; and plenty of outside storage for all your beach gear.
