light and space and enjoy a postcard-
perfect view of the verdant back yard,
lush vegetation, shoreline and sky
– just one of many ocean views this
home offers.

Much of the home’s charming per-
sonality comes from the creative
mind of the current owner, Audrey
Golden, a gifted artist and teacher
with an eye for design. “We’ve been
here for 30 years,” she says “The kids
(now grown) love it.”

The kitchen is a bright and open
space, filled with ambient light. Gold-
en points out that, with windows to

the north, south and east, the views
are especially beautiful, as the sky
often presents three different colors.

Here, Golden has chosen a wide-
plank hardwood floor, and has de-
signed a striking, five-sided island,
topped with natural, honed granite
and filled with a luxury of storage.
She notes that this large surface has
often been called into service for her
various art projects and “it’s great for

you can ease into your day with a cup

bath features a relaxing tub.

A powder room is located at the
