Stone Harbor, New Jersey
"Leg-A-Sea" is so named because my siblings and I inherited this house from our parents many years ago. It has been a special place for us all to gather, with and since my parents have gone. Built on my architect brother's design, it is the first passive solar house on the island and as such is listed as such in Stone Harbor's Book of special places. The first floor is quite open, though there is room to sit by yourself with your coffee and paper in the sunroom and watch the world go by. There are two private decks off the south facing bedrooms from which you can see the ocean. A first floor deck off the kitchen and dining room has great seating and eating space for all. (new gas grill at the ready!) What makes this house truly unique is a 3rd floor 360 degree cupola from which you can watch the sun set and rise again, see storms roll by or check out what's happening in the ocean. Views on all sides of the island!
The house is just 4 houses from the beach, 2 blocks from a great playground, 7 blocks from the center of town and so much more. It is a special gathering place for us and will be for families looking for the best of what Stone Harbor has to offer.
