Modern Coastal Family Home

Designed with family living in mind, this Atlantic Highlands home balances coastal ease with refined simplicity. The entire first floor was refreshed with light-filled spaces, organic materials, and gentle contrasts that bring warmth and character throughout. From the airy kitchen and casual gathering areas to the newly renovated lower level — complete with a gym, kids’ crafts area, wet bar, and full sauna bath — every finish and furnishing was thoughtfully selected to create a cohesive, elevated design from top to bottom.
