About the host
Hosted by Kathleen Scanlon
We are Kate & Pete, married for 47 years. We bought this house 20 years ago as a second home we could enjoy on the water, with our family and friends. It was very run down and needed a lot of love! We slowly remodelled the house, when we could afford it, and continued to use it, mostly on weekends. Fast forward 20 years, and we have two daughters, and a grandson, who live in Phoenix, AZ. We split our time, especially in the winter months, between Phoenix and the East Coast. Kate is retired, and Pete is about to be in 2019.
Why they chose this property
Kate is originally from England, and was born and raised near the water. Pete grew up in NYC, and also had a love of the ocean. We bought this house in all honesty, because it was what we could afford at the time, and wanted to live, at least part time near or on the water. The house became a labor of love, and over the years has been completely gutted and remodelled from the heating and air conditioning systems, roof, windows, and complete interior redesign. We've created numerous family memories in this home, from impromptu BBQ's to family Reunions on the beach. Though we both love the water, we don't like the cold or the snowy New England winters. We winter in Arizona to get out of the cold, and to spend time with our kids and grandson. Our property is managed very well by our Property Manager, Jessica.
What makes this property unique
We fell in love with this house because of the views from the living room, front bedroom and porch. Sunrises and sunsets from this home are fabulous, and it's like watching an ever changing living portrait from the comfort of your couch or the rocking chairs on the porch. We even enjoy watching thunderstorms from the safety of our porch, as the electric light shows, dark clouds and lightening offer yet another contrast to the vivid pinks, purples and blues of a sunrise/sunset. We never get tired of watching it, and it brings us both a sense of tranquilty and calm that is so welcome in the everyday bustle of busy lives.
