The beauty of the waterfront home is that it can be designed in any style and any number of floors as long as the main living area of the home has an uninterrupted view of the water. Today’s buyer is looking for an open concept floor plan that lends itself easily to this style. Many times, a wraparound deck is found off the main living area creating another living space that’s perfect for viewing the water.

There are all kinds of waterfront homes. Oceans, rivers, ponds, streams, and lakes all provide different living experiences. When purchasing property for your home, you’ll want to have some kind of idea of how to care for a waterfront home because they typically require more maintenance and upkeep than a home in a regular neighborhood.
