More About Waterfront Plans

Views and Outdoor Living

When designing a waterfront home it is all about the views and the outdoor living spaces. These home plans will often include large windows, expansive decks, and door walls. Nothing is more relaxing than stepping out of your door to hear the waves lapping the shore.

A Slice of Paradise

Coastal canals, rivers, lakes, or even seaside, nearly any body of water can be the setting for your little slice of paradise. Waterfront homes are exactly as the name implies, a house on the water. These home plans can illustrate a house of nearly any size or style. A ranch, an A-frame, or a log cabin, the sky's the limit.

There are small lakefront homes, vacation waterfront homes, and grand homes by the sea. A home plan should fit your needs both for water activity and general living. Boat owners will likely want a place to store their boat, whether it be a roomy lot or a large garage. For those who take part in watersports, an outdoor shower or mudroom is handy to keep debris from entering your home.

Don’t let the allure of the water overshadow your general living needs. If you don’t do well with stairs, you will probably want a ranch style home. If you have a large family that requires a place for the kids to play consider adding a finished basement. A waterfront home will need to marry your outdoor and indoor needs.

Lakefront Living Features

Still, all waterfront homes share a few common features. The most prevalent are large windows. A huge plus of living on the water is the scenic views, you don’t want to obscure them with walls. Therefore, almost all home plans call for large windows, and a lot of them.

Having outside space is another necessity for those next to a body of water. Choose from a deck, a dock, a patio, even a boat ramp. Outdoor spaces can extend your homes livable area and are ideal for entertaining or to unwind while watching the sunset.

Outdoor lighting and accessories are a great addition to your waterfront property. Fire pits make a wonderful gathering place. Tiki bars and stone pizza ovens are a few of the more unique outdoor features that can be found at waterfront homes. Outdoor showers are convenient and limit how much sand makes it into your house.

Docks and boat ramps give you easy access to put in your boat and jet ski or jump in for a swim. The ability to take part in watersports anytime you like is a major benefit of waterfront living.

You will need somewhere to store your toys when you’re not on the water. Thankfully, plans for a waterfront home usually include a large garage. These garages are often big enough to store your boat and trailer as well as your vehicles.

A mudroom is another lake life essential. Sand, dirt, and puddles can collect at any entry point in the house. A mudroom is a simple way to keep debris from making it into your home.

Benefits and Considerations

For those who love to swim, boat, fish, or just enjoy the view, waterfront homes are ideal. Living right on the water allows you to put in your boat or jet ski whenever you choose. Additionally, these homes are perfect for entertaining and get-togethers.

An Alluring Property Purchase

Waterfront properties have always been appealing. In the past private residences were tiny, secluded abodes on lakes or ponds. The ocean side properties were once reserved for large resorts and sanitariums, or health-focused retreat centers. Today, while still a luxury, waterfront property is more widely available and suitable for a variety of home plans.
