Real Estate Tips From a New Homeowner


4 Luxurious Ways To Enhance Views From Oceanfront Homes

Oceanfront homes are desirable for anyone who loves the sand and sea. There are condos, bungalows, stilted homes, and grand properties that offer oceanfront views across the nation. Those who already own an oceanfront home or are considering buying one can use these tips to make the property truly stand out.

1. Create Areas That Enhance Seaside Views

Porches and terraces are common in seaside homes, and they almost always face the water. Imagine watching spectacular sunsets and ebbing waves and seeing creatures that surface on the ocean every day. Adding comfortable lounging furniture can make these areas more inviting.

2. Invest in a Stylish Outdoor Fire Pit

Outdoor fire pits can be used for heat on chilly nights and can establish an inviting space where beachgoers can commune. Numerous sizes, styles, and materials are options for outdoor fire pits. Traditional pits can have materials like cast iron and bricks, but there are more customized selections.

Some involve a picnic-style table with a bowl or full-length strand of centrally placed rocks that serve as a fire pit. Beachfront homeowners will want to select or build a pit that can withstand winds and salty air for longevity.

3. Install an Outdoor Bar or Kitchen

Adding a wet bar or an impressive outdoor kitchen (or both) invites family and friends to spend more time there enjoying ocean views. There are likely to be parties at the beach and times when strangers will ask to join. With this in mind, make food and drinks available with a self-serve outdoor bar with both kids and adults in mind. Great kitchens by the beach might include:

  • Built-in-Smokers
  • Refrigerators
  • Sinks
  • Warming Drawers
  • Burners
  • Countertops
  • Cabinets for Storage

Just make sure that the kitchen can handle the outdoor elements, such as sea air, sand, and sunshine.

4. Buy an Oceanfront Home with a Pier

Fishing, boating, and swimming are more accessible with a pier spilling out into the ocean. Building a private pier requires both owners and contractors to understand and comply with specific rules and regulations of the city, county, and the community itself. Those searching for available oceanfront homes may want to tour properties that already feature a pier or a public one nearby.

These are some top ways that a beachfront home can be even more of a pleasure to live in and share with others. So, go ahead and make that dream of owning one yourself come true and spruce it up with these ideas. One last tip: When installing or using these features of a coastal property, be sure to have ample lighting to showcase them and promote greater safety around these areas. They are likely to become favorite places to relax, so consider good lighting to boost their appeal.

Real Estate Tips from a New Homeowner

While some people "wing it" when purchasing their first home, I went about the process differently. I put a lot of research into home market trends before even deciding where I would like my new home to be located and learned about all of the steps of the buying process. Once I was ready to start looking at homes, I hired a real estate agent who was very impressed with all the knowledge I had accumulated about the home-buying process before I even owned my first home! I love learning, so I actually greatly enjoyed learning all about real estate, and I am still keeping on top of the latest real estate news and trends since I know they will come in handy when I decide to upgrade into a larger home in the future. I decided to help others by sharing what I have learned on a blog!
