Life Inside a Dune!
Life Inside a Dune!
We first told you about this innovative home in our Top Ten Weird but Wonderful Homes list. But now there's even more to tell! Did you know that when William Morgan designed this duplex he was actually trying to preserve the land next to his own home? On prime beachfront, he loved the natural dunes and didn't want them spoiled by having another house built on top. So why not build under the dunes and preserve them? Genius! Not only for the view from his own home, but for a lucky new owner who can live or vacation in one and rent the other. Why? The value today of stable 70-degree year-round indoor temperatures not using any more electric other than the built in dehumidifier in each. Consider that at least a $200/month savings all year compared to other beach homes! And though you're covered by insulating earth, you're really not subterranean since your terrace and views are at beach level. These 1 bedroom homes with their seashell shaped stairwell offer a sweeping view of the living area below, making the home feel spacious and quite roomy. Ocean and beach views are dramatic and the homes will be a fascinating venue for entertaining family and friends, ending with a perfect moonlight stroll along the beach.
This is a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a prized design by such a renowned master architect, and additionally live right next door to him! Recently reduced $150k and will consider owner financing! Excuse us now while we go mow the roof!
