  1. Thank God Country Living chose Breezy Point to highlight as their House of the Year! As someone who lived on Long Island quite near there, I don’t know if people can understand the devastation that Hurricane Sandy caused this area. Breezy Point in particular suffered tremendously, not only the actual storm, but the resulting fires, it truly looked like Hell on earth. This bungalow is beautiful, bright and hopeful and I my wish is that it inspires the residents of Breezy Point and bring them much hope and healin.

  2. I’ve been completely obsessed with this house! I keep trying to figure out where I can fit a library ladder into my own home now…

  3. What a wonderful space to go with a wonderful story. I love, love, love to see when the human spirit thrives after a devastating blow. This home gives hope to many … and inspiration to me!

  4. I could move in there in a second, but it would be my private getaway, just don’t tell my family. I am in love with those kitchen stools and I need a rolling library ladder somewhere. Even if it is like the Winchester House and leads to nowhere, I must have one. What a wonderful, cheery home! Sharing at my FB page.
