Walking through the Coastal Living Magazine Ultimate Beach House has had a totally new feeling lately.

The house feels more complete, like it is almost ready to welcome the crowds that will be touring it from July 16 – October 31. Construction is vivid in most places, yet the completed facets of each room take precedence for some reason. Here is an update of the progress straight from the Washington Coast!

The two chimneys for the inside and outside fireplace have been installed and completed. The interior fireplace continues out into a stainless steel chimney that sticks out parallel to the house on the south side. The outdoor masonry fireplace has a beautiful stone finish and sits nicely on top of the breezeway that connects the main house and guest house.

Right below the breezeway, an Azek deck is being put in, which will give the courtyard a more beachy feel. The deck on the front of the house that looks out to the ocean has also been completed, and is waiting for the railing on the edges.

Inside, cabinets supplied by J.Tribble continue to be installed throughout the house and are really adding a new dimension to the open space.

Painters are still working hard and have finished painting the guest house. A sign that said “stay out, wet paint” kept us away from snapping some photos inside the guest house, but will surely have them on the blog next week.

Downstairs, everything is ready for the sauna which arrived today and is going to be installed tomorrow.

We have over 20 pictures for you below, so hope you enjoy the update!

All the different rooms of the Coastal Living Magazine Ultimate Beach House are finally taking shape!

Over the last week, sheet rock went up in the basement and the second floor, and as soon as it is dry all the walls will be painted. According to our Idea House construction manager Terry Howe, wall-painting is likely to start Thursday of next week. The first floor will have wood walls only, which should really give the idea house a unique, beachy feel.

Hardwood floors, something we are very excited about, are supposed to be installed in the Ultimate Beach House toward the end of next week!

Walking around the Idea Home is already becoming a great experience. Over 80 can lights will be installed in the ceilings – the most a house has had at Seabrook! Check out the pictures below where you can see this feature and many more.

The outside fireplace is almost complete on the outside of the house, and the breezeway should see soffits added within the next couple weeks.

Enjoy this week’s picture updates as the Coastal Living Magazine Ultimate Beach House is coming together right in front of our eyes.
