Perched just above the tidal line in Charlestown, The Beachfront Lookout is a custom two-story modular retreat built by Connecticut Valley Homes and manufactured by Apex Homes. Elevated above base-flood elevation to meet FEMA standards, this 1,980 sq ft. residence blends coastal resilience with refined design—purpose-built to withstand storm surges while capturing panoramic views of Block Island Sound.

Designed in close collaboration between the homeowner, the Connecticut Valley Homes team, and Apex’s factory crew, The Beachfront Lookout features:

• Impact-Rated Windows & Doors: High-performance glazing throughout for wind resistance and uninterrupted water vistas.

• Open-Plan Living: Every room is oriented toward the Sound, with an expansive great room and loft that flow seamlessly to outdoor decks.

• Premium, Low-Maintenance Finishes: Cambria quartz countertops, maple cabinetry, luxury vinyl plank flooring, and WaterSense faucets ensure both elegance and durability.

• Expansive Decking System: A generous main-level Azek deck with low-maintenance composite railings provides easy-care outdoor living space.

• Coastal Engineering: Hurricane strapping, high-performance insulation, LED lighting, and an elevated foundation guarantee long-term performance.

• Versatile Under-Home Space: A full unfinished ground level offers secure storage and room for future expansion above the Base Flood Elevation.

From the early months spent refining the floor plan to the precise factory build—comprising four 44-foot modules—to the rapid five-month site installation, The Beachfront Lookout showcases modular construction’s speed, precision, and problem-solving prowess. With thoughtful design and collaborative execution, this home delivers coastal elegance, energy efficiency, and unwavering strength against nature’s forces.
