include custom moldings and mill-
work that add to the understated el-
egance of the home. The coffered and
tray ceilings add depth and interest to
various rooms.

The dimensionality of the architec-
ture is one of the home’s more unique
features, according Orchid Island Re-
alty broker Scott Oberlink, who has the
3-bedroom, 4.5-bath, 4,022-square-
foot home listed for $1,625,000. “The
use of dimension and angles changes
the rooms, making the space more vi-
sually interesting. The rooms are de-
fined by angles but open and private
at the same time.”

The large, dark mahogany front
doors open to a foyer that merges into
the formal living room, which offers
a panoramic view of the golf course.

The southern wing of the house is
a private sanctuary for the Colemans
and includes Ron’s library, the master
suite and Linda’s office.

“I’ll miss this room the most. My li-
brary is my favorite part of the house;
it’s also where I work,” says Ron as he
points out his collection of antique
books lining the dark, wood book-
shelves. The beadboard, Windsor ceil-
ing and natural-grass wall covering
create an atmosphere that Ron likens
to a man’s club. “Every night I’ve got
a straight shot at the sunset over the
golf club from the library. It’s gorgeous
and there’s nothing to block the view.”
