From the Personal Perspective:
If I had to pick just one word to describe living in the village of Dennisville it would be "Magical".
When I first pulled into the driveway and heard the oyster shells crunching and saw the boxwoods surrounding the property, I knew I had found "home". At the time, there was no running water, no electricity, a leaking roof, peeling paint, and a property that had been on and off the market for nearly 5 years...needless to say, I was blinded by love.
My vision for the house was to make it feel as if it was a summer house that had been in the same family for 100 years---which is why you'll see a 1970s sofa next to a Victorian dresser.
One of my favorite compliments I received last year was that my house was the "most fun" of all the houses on the tour. That's what Dennisville is to me a chance to take it easy, go to the beach, take a nap, read a book, visit with the neighbors, go antiquing, and, in general, just relax.
I hope that you enjoy your tour of all the houses in Dennisville and let me let you in a little secret... this place is a little slice of heaven on earth!
