Turquoise token on the bay

If you are lucky enough to have a home with water views, it would seem a unanimous want, but hard or impractical to accomplish, to have pristine and unobstructed views from all areas of your home. However, new Florida residents Jackie and Rick Meckstroth have accomplished just that.

The Meckstroths purchased the lot in 2011 and contacted Murray Homes to go over plans.

“We had a list of what we wanted and we went from there,” says Jackie Meckstroth.

The main request on the list was to get the most out of the view — other requests included lots of windows, an infinity pool, an open layout and a master bedroom on the first floor. The family got just that, and more. The 4,800-square-foot, two-story home was completed in 2013 and every room has a view.
