Coast Calendar: Seabrook open for Fall tours

Weekly events and entertainment around the North Beach

Seabrook’s Fall Tour of Homes on Nov. 5 will feature 16 well-appointed beach vacation homes, for sale and rent, all open to the public from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The tour includes the first finished home in the new Farm District.

“This is our biggest tour of homes we’ve had and all of the homes are either for sale or feature house plans which we have for sale,” said Robyn Roloff, one of Seabrook’s three sales agents.

When entering Seabrook, follow signs to the Farm District. In addition to the Farm District’s Rosebud B model home “Farm to Sea,” Seabrook will also offer a sneak peak of the nearly-completed Blueberry and Buttercup Orchard Cottages.

On the ocean side, several oceanfront homes will be featured. At homesite 311, visit one of Seabrook’s Signature Homes located in the Elk Creek neighborhood. It has been outfitted by Seabrook’s SeaWorthy Home utilizing a Northwest pallet, natural fabrics, and cozy comforters and pillows for the perfect night on the oceanfront.

When the Tour of Homes ends at 3 p.m., founder Casey Roloff will be at the Seabrook Sales Office for a guided town tour and discussion about the concepts behind the creation of what has become the fastest growing beach town on the West Coast.
