It’s the dream of many buyers to own a beachfront home or a vacation retreat on a lake. And buying beachfront or waterfront property is a smart move if you want a property that will retain its value even in a slow market. Here are 6 amazing aquatic abodes to help illustrate why waterfront homes never go out of style.
1. Waterfront Home Designs
5121 East Ocean Boulevard, Long Beach
Buyers are attracted to waterfront homes because developers design them to have scenic views from nearly every room. Homebuyers are looking for luxury properties on the water and developers include cathedral ceilings and fireplaces in living spaces, oceanfront swimming pools, Jacuzzis, Italian marble floors and gourmet kitchens with state-of-the-art appliances.
This beachfront estate in Long Beach, Belmont Shores features 3 balconies with glass rails, floating circular staircase surrounding a state of the art glass round elevator and more impressive bells and whistles like steam showers and stainless steel appliances.
When homes are built to enjoy ocean views and the beach lifestyle, it’s a no brainer that buyers will take notice.
2. Availability
315 Via Lido Soud, Newport Beach
Although there are thousands of beach and lakefront homes, each one is a little different, and it takes some time to find the home with the amenities, location and atmosphere that you want. Beachfront property is always in demand so when you find the perfect home, make an offer.
