The outside of this round house is gray cedar siding. Re-staining was done in 2006 and should last at least a decade. Surrounding half of the structure are two stories of decking which provide panoramic views of the Chincoteague Bay and nearby islands.

 The entire structure is capped by a nearly new (2004) bituminous asphalt roof with a 15 year guarantee. There are no shingles to blow off and all seams are heat sealed.

 A screened porch is on the south side of the top floor. The porch looks out on Chincoteague Bay and Island--An ideal location for sunset watching and year-around barbeques. The porch may be entered either from the Great Room or deck.

 On the first level of decking, only a couple of steps from the lower floor’s entryway, is a portable soft sided SofTub Spa. This hot tub holds 300 gallons of water and can be easily relocated if desired. The motor is housed externally and so may be easily detached and inexpensively shipped by UPS for service if necessary. SofTubs offer all the benefits of a hot tub/spa with easy maintenance and few, if any, problems.

 The ground level has a concrete pad under the house and three storage rooms. One room houses the air handler of the heat pump but also has two sets of shelving; another is under the stair-well and houses the generator; and, the third is available for additional storage or a workshop.

 Because of the dry landscaping (gravel and shells) there is plenty of off street parking. Four to five cars easily fit in front of the house while the back and sides of the house can accommodate two boat trailers with boats. It is possible to park a small trailer, such as those for jet skis, canoes, and small boats, under the house between pilings

 Where the lot joins the canal, just steps from the house, there is bulkheading and a boardwalk from one side of the lot to the other. On the bulkhead is a fish cleaning station and room to launch small craft. At the bulkhead is also a 5,000 lb electric boat lift.

 The adjoining lot is also for sale. The lot adjoins the home’s lot on the north and has grass covered level ground. That lot is bulkheaded which can provide another site for boat docking, crabbing, etc. The adjoining lot may be purchased in conjunction with the house for an additional fee.
