Exposed beams, arched doorways and bright artistic tiles are in keeping with early design origins of the three-bedroom, four-bathroom house. Reclaimed barn beams top the master suite, which opens to a private patio. An inner courtyard with a fountain sits off the den. Arched French doors open the living and kitchen area to a patio, an outdoor fireplace and a swimming pool. Lacy wrought iron gates at the back of the property open directly to the sand.
