Riverside Oasis

Cooler temps don’t keep Melissa and Valmar Nunes and their adorable pup, Mason, cooped up indoors. The couple designed their RiverTowne abode—complete with a marsh-front pool, open-air kitchen, and this alfresco fireplace—for outdoor entertaining year-round.

High Five: The Nuneses opted to elevate the “farmhouse” structure to prevent flooding and optimize the Wando River views.
