About this home
In WaterColor, the most compelling homes rarely announce themselves. They reveal their intention gradually, through proportion, material, and the quiet confidence of thoughtful design. At 565 East Royal Fern, that restraint is immediately evident. Built by Borges Brooks Builders and designed by TS Adams, the residence reads less like a vacation home and more like a carefully composed coastal compound, where architecture, craftsmanship, and livability were considered in equal measure.
The interiors are grounded in warmth and texture. Oak floors by Seashore Flooring run throughout, softening the scale of the home while complementing a restrained palette of whites and natural woods. Light moves easily across the living spaces, filtered through expansive openings and framed by subtle architectural details. Several furnishings were custom designed by the homeowner and executed by Amish craftsmen, introducing a quiet layer of authenticity that reinforces the home's tailored, intentional feel.
The kitchen is both sculptural and functional, centered around a waterfall island that anchors the space. Dome pendants add a clean architectural focal point, while a 60-inch Wolf range and Liebherr refrigerator elevate the appliance package without disrupting the home's understated tone. In the carriage house, quartz countertops and coordinated finishes continue the same level of detail, ensuring the secondary living spaces feel fully integrated with the main residence.
With eight bedrooms, including the private carriage house, the property lives as a true compound. The primary suite is positioned as a retreat, complete with a spa-style bathroom featuring a soaking tub, electric fireplace, dual closets, and direct access to a private patio. Guest accommodations are thoughtfully distributed, allowing for both privacy and flexibility when hosting extended family and visitors.
Construction details further distinguish the home. The slab is elevated and foam insulated, a deliberate structural decision that enhances stability and helps prevent floor movement over time. Real stone in the downstairs guest bathroom reinforces the emphasis on authentic materials, while EPAY decking across the outdoor living areas was selected for long-term durability in the coastal environment.
Outdoor spaces extend the architecture rather than compete with it. A resort-style pool and covered pavilion create layered gathering areas, allowing the home to transition naturally between quiet mornings and larger-scale entertaining.
At 565 East Royal Fern, the result is not simply scale, but composition. A WaterColor residence defined by intention, craftsmanship, and a quieter, more enduring interpretation of coastal luxury....
