With seven spectacular homes on the 31st annual JFS House Tour, guests traveled throughout the Downbeach area to get up close and personal with amazing architecture, design and construction.
MARGATE –The JFS House Tour Aug. 6 gave approximately 500 guests a rare opportunity to see inside seven breathtaking and uniquely structured Downbeach homes while supporting a great cause.

The event was co-chaired by Fran Gelman, Pam Sinderbrand and Mitch Tannehill, who selected selected homes that included everything from a remodeled and ADA-modified beach block Cape Cod to a luxurious 4,200-square-foot custom built home constructed with an energy efficient building envelope making it a model for new shore homes to come. Other featured homes included a contemporary beach house with custom interior elements, fresh pops of color and a top floor lounge and wet bar with gorgeous Ventnor beach views. Another was an updated 1922 Tudor-style seven bedroom home displaying original details such as stained glass panels, Tudor arches and a painted beamed ceiling in the dining room. The more modern homes on the 2018 tour featured extras such as a Tesla charging station, exterior natural gas lamps, a master en suite with an additional “hers” beauty room, Alexa-enabled smart home technology and much more.
