Last week, Seabrook’s town founder Casey Roloff hosted two webinars describing some of Seabrook’s most interesting neighborhoods.

In a 45-minute long presentation, viewers had the chance to learn not only what makes each Seabrook neighborhood special, but also what the town’s overall vision is. The webinars mapped out the NW Glen Oceanfront neighborhood, Madison Lane Cottages, Alderwood Cottages, East Main Cottages, and the Front Street Townhomes.

Those of you that were not able to attend the webinar can now watch it in full by clicking play below.

Because of the interest that this webinar garnered, Casey Roloff will host several short webinars on each individual part of Seabrook in the upcoming weeks. There will be a webinar every Thursday at 11 am. Starting with the Madison Lane Cottages webinar on June 16, you will have the chance to learn all the details about each Seabrook neighborhood right from your computer!

Here is the upcoming webinar schedule:

• Madison Lane Cottages – Thursday, June 16, 11:00 am PST
• Front Street Townhomes – Thursday, June 23, 11:00 am PST
• East Main Cottages – Thursday, June 30, 11:00 am PST
• Alderwood Cottages – Thursday, July 7, 11:00 am PST
• NW Glen Oceanfront – Thursday, July 14, 11:00 am PST

Click on each neighborhood above to sign up for the webinar!

We hope you enjoy our webinars and hope to see you either at Seabrook or at the web presentations soon!

Have you ever dreamed of owning a spectacular beach home that was also environmentally sustainable? That is exactly what the Hassler family was looking for when they created Windswept, a beautiful oceanfront home nestled into Seabrook’s Northwest Glen Neighborhood.

This stunning property was carefully planned to not only be an incredible beach retreat, but was also designed to be energy efficient, use less water than a traditional home, provide a healthy indoor environment, and protect the outdoor environment both during the construction process and for the life of the home. With all this in mind, Windswept was recently awarded LEED Certification at the Silver level – becoming the second home at Seabrook with LEED certification!

LEED is an acronym that stands for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design and is the nationally accepted benchmark for the design, construction, and operation of high performance “green” buildings. Developed by the U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC), LEED provides homeowners and contractors with three different levels of concise framework used to identify and implement practical and measurable green building design, construction, operations, and maintenance solutions.

Here in Washington, there are less than 150 homes that have attained either the Silver, Gold, or Platinum level LEED Certification. Until recently, only one of these LEED Certified homes was located on the Olympic Peninsula; Seabrook’s very own, Evergreen Cabin. Now, Windswept has joined the Evergreen Cabin to become the second home at Seabrook and the first oceanfront home to attain LEED Certification!

Windswept is a relaxing and sophisticated beach home that is committed to environmental stewardship and social responsibility. It is also a vacation rental property available to rent for your next beach vacation!

A few weeks ago we introduced the latest Seabrook contest to find out what your dreams of an “Ultimate Beach Home” are. We’ve received many responses of how you imagine you perfect beach house and are looking forward to many more entries in the next couple weeks (just drop us a comment below to enter).

In the meantime, we sat down with our Sales team and asked them how they picture their “Ultimate Beach Home”. Here is what they had to say:

Jennifer Lampe

“My ideal beach home is a cottage that sits up high on a hill overlooking the ocean. There is a winding path through a meadow of tall grasses and wildflowers welcoming you to the brightly painted front door and garden full of flowers. There are lots of windows in my little sea cottage and the home is bright and cheery even when it is rainy and windy outside. A huge river-rock fireplace makes the family room cozy a stormy day and it is the perfect place for a quiet conversation or to enjoy a game of backgammon in the evening. The kitchen is always full of delicious smells and the laughter of many meals shared with family or friends.

Although it is light and airy, this cottage is like a boat – even the stairwell has storage nooks to display books, shells, and precious beach-finds. On a lazy, sunny afternoon, big comfy pillows offer the perfect place to lounge while enjoying the fresh salty air blowing inside. Down the hallway, the bedrooms are tucked into the eaves with colorful quilts and crisp white linens – and there is always an extra bed for guests to stay the night!

“Here is my ultimate beach town to have a beach house in:

And finally, knowing that someday our children will understand what a gift it truly is to be surrounded by people who love them, from family to our lovely neighbors and friends.

Holly Emerson

“When I think of my ultimate beach house, the first thing that comes to mind is having a large enough space to surround myself with friends and family.

The beach is much used by both people and dogs, so an outdoor shower is a must after a walk, surf, or bonfire on the beach.”

Robyn Roloff

“The Ultimate would be simple! It would be where our grandchildren would rather sit and watch the sea birds and waves than play with their games. There would be great music playing from nowhere with the sound of the ocean as background music. The flower boxes on the outside of the weathered shingle siding would be filled with trailing posies.

We would welcome our friends and family to share our precious hours….The evening would come, the lights would be dim and the evening sun would be streaming through the front windows. Grandpa and I would be sitting on the front porch holding hands…”

This week’s neighborhood preview features Lily Walk, Seabrook’s newest neighborhood.

Lily Walk is a unique type of neighborhood for Seabrook. Situated just east of South Alder Park, it will feature 16 homes surrounding a grass park in the middle. The views of many of the homes will look eastward towards a future organic farm. A much sought-after feature at our beach town – the pedestrian promenade – will encircle the neighborhood. In addition, multiple walking trails will be accessible just east of South Alder park, in the preserve area known as East Alder park.

Six new house plans are being introduced for this part of Seabrook: Bluebell, Primrose, Beach Daisy, Lily, Trillium, & Huckleberry. They all come in different varieties and feature one or two stories with total square footage ranging from 416-1,008 sq.ft. You can see all the details for the houses in the Lily Walk package below.

We are very excited for this new part of Seabrook and there is already a strong interest shown. Since the neighborhoods introduction two weeks ago, we have already sold 3 new beach homes. In the meantime, we have put together a package of all the Lily Walk details for you to look at your own leisure. Here is what all you can find in the PDF binder below:

• Streetscape Rendering
• 19 Home Plan Flyers
• Master Plan Illustrative
• Seabrook Lot Map

The file is pretty big and takes a bit to download, but it is surely worth the wait. To view it, just click on the file below or right-click it and save it on your computer.

Starting with last week’s Beach Camp Cottage neighborhood preview, the Seabrook Blog will feature weekly updates on the fast-moving progress around Seabrook. Today, we take a quick glance at the Compass Park cottages, located South of the North Alder Cottage Court.

The four beach houses comprising this sunny Compass Park corner are an ideal mix of size, design, and location. Each Compass Park cottage is about 1,500 sq.ft. with an attached garage (a new facet of Seabrook) and natural cedar shingles. A second story walkout balcony faces South, making the front of the house one of the warmest and most desirable places to soak up the sun.

Inside, the houses welcome you through a porch to an open floor plan – this truly captures the feeling of being at the beach. Three bedrooms on the top floor circle a media/family room.

Three of the four houses have already been sold and two are currently under construction. The first homeowners are expecting to move in during the middle of March and are very excited for their beach house to be completed. And you know what? So are we!

Which part of town would you prefer, the Beach Camp Cottages or Compass Park? Let us know in the comments below, and make sure to check back next week for our oceanfront Northwest Glen neighborhood update!
