The porch's weatherproof Azek board and batten side panels ensure beauty and durability in every season. Imagine sipping morning coffee as sails glide by or enjoying evening sunsets that set the river ablaze. This is "porch living!" But it's Wednesday nights in Island Heights that truly shine, when local sailors take to the river in a spectacle of fluttering sails and golden light all summer seasona cherished tradition you can enjoy from the porch, bay windows, or third-story master suite.

A cleverly concealed bike locker beneath the deck keeps outdoor gear covered. This is not just a home, it's a lifestyle.
