A Pop of Wildwood

Not exactly unassuming, this home in the New Jersey neighbourhood of Wildwood is just as impressive inside as it appears from the outside. Utterly sophisticated but with a fun twist, this home combines minimal design with striking colour choices and quirky elements to create a flowing space ideal for making memories. Hours can be spent in a friendly Skee Ball competition or defending your high score on Ms. Pacman, and when you’re not wagering your pride on your ability to beat arcade machines, you can put your board game skills to the test.

The generous kitchen is equipped to handle a group, so why not make breakfast a collaborative affair? Get a pancake topping station going on the kitchen island so everyone can put their own creative spin on their portion before tucking in at the dining table.

The lounge is a bookworm's idea of heaven, each sofa more comfortable than the last, but this area is also brilliant for an impromptu dance party. Spin your favourite vinyl on the record player and, as the saying goes, dance like noones watching. Or go the other way and mellow out in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine and nibbles as the music plays in the background.

The bedrooms, in contrast to the more vibrant living spaces, are crisp white - retire to their comforts as the day winds down, but not before a sunset cocktail on the porch, followed by a bubble bath in the clawfoot tub.

Wildwood Beach is minutes away for when you need a day of sunbathing and lapping waves. Frolic in the salty surf, eat every flavour of ice cream, find a place to eat, and walk the boardwalk as the afternoon inches towards evening.
