At Stonehenge Building, we believe every day could be Valentine’s Day, and no, we’re not talking about eating chocolates, having candlelit dinners, and gifting flower bouquets every day. We’re talking about the luxury home features you can incorporate into your LBI custom home that add a touch of romance to everyday living. Our team is sharing our favorite LBI custom home features that help put a little extra love in the air all year round:
Fireplaces and Swoon-Worthy Views
We don’t care if it’s cliché, but there is truly nothing like a crackling fire, mood lighting, and a gorgeous view of the ocean at dusk while you sip on something special and spend a quiet evening with your significant other. When building an LBI custom home, we always suggest clients take advantage of LBI’s stunning beauty by incorporating oversized windows to capture the breathtaking views around us. Pair that with the warm glow of a fireplace, and you’re all set for a cozy night! And don’t worry! There are plenty of fireplace designs to choose from, so you can find the perfect one to suit your design preferences. From linear to traditional to see-through; gas, electric, or wood-burning, there are plenty of ways to make your fireplace unique to you. A fireplace could even be incorporated into the design of the main bedroom to add a touch of intimacy—and added warmth! Learn more about fireplaces on our blog here.
Create a Spa-Like Retreat in Your Main Bedroom
The main bedroom has always been an important feature for our LBI custom home buyers. It’s supposed to be a retreat within your dream home that’s just for you. From a spa-like ensuite with a soaking tub and oversized shower with rain shower heads to quiet reading nooks tucked into an enclave complete with a coffee bar, the main bedroom isn’t just meant for sleeping anymore. It’s a space to take a breath and completely relax in as you let any worries fade away. Unwind in the lap of luxury with a free-standing tub to soak away all your troubles or enjoy the the spray of a rain shower head to wash away a blissful day at the beach.
Carve out a cozy alcove to sit and chat with your beloved in a comfortable seating area partitioned off from the bedroom where you can relax after a long day. Or enjoy a cup of coffee together at the beginning of the day from your private coffee bar, that maybe also doubles as a wet bar for when the sun goes down and you’re ready to unwind for the day.
Private Balconies that Hide You from the World
Private balconies are another fantastic way to share an intimate moment with your loved one and forget about the world around you for a little while. Any time we can suggest a private balcony off the main bedroom, we do! Adding a private balcony to your LBI custom home, regardless of whether you choose to add it to your main bedroom or another location, is a great way to enjoy watching the sunrise without disrupting sleeping guests or children by making the journey through the home. Having exclusive balcony access may not be a priority, but we definitely recommend it whenever possible because it’s the little touches that make a custom home your dream home.
Whether you’ve already picked out or purchased a property or are just starting to entertain the idea of an LBI custom home, we’re ready to help you through this journey! Stonehenge has been an LBI builder for over three decades, and over that time we’ve established relationships with our tradesmen, communities, and local shore towns here on the Island and the Mainland, while also keeping up to date with the best building practices for building LBI custom homes.
