Architecture and Landscape
The heart of the house is the soaring, light-filled great room on the upper level with 16-foot vaulted wood-paneled ceilings and sweeping views of the bay and pond. The living area with wraparound sofa with a 65in Sony smart TV w/cable, the dining area anchored by a reclaimed oak parsons 12-person dining table and Danish wishbone chairs, and the chef kitchen, complete with granite countertops, double gas oven and every modern appliances you will need, all come together in the glow of natural light and a modern Serge Mouille chandelier. Sliding glass doors connect the interior to the generous outdoor deck, pool & hot tub area, with a grass lawn that abuts our very own Swan Pond. Evergreens planted along the property borders make the home feel extra private.
Sleeping + Bathing Accommodations
All five bedrooms have new top-of-the-line memory foam mattresses. The master suite is located on the upper level. It includes a king bed, daybed, great morning light, 55-in. smart TV, and en-suite marble bath as well as access to another half bath in the common area. The lower level has three equally spacious guest bedrooms (one king, two queens) all with outdoor access to the pool and hot tub area. These three bedrooms share two full baths on the same floor, one of which has a glass walk-in shower and the other a tub/shower combo renovated in 2018, complete with a Dornbrecht rain shower head. The fourth guest bedroom is on the middle half-level, complete with a queen bed - offering extra privacy as it’s the only bedroom on that floor. The daybed in the master bedroom can be set up as a guest bed, either as a king or two separate XL-twin beds. We keep extra bedding/duvets in the master closet. This daybed brings the sleeping capacity in the house up to twelve.
Outdoor Living
The 18’x36’ heated pool and 8'x10' in-ground hot tub are surrounded by wood decking and a brand new blue-stone patio. The hot tub is available year-round. It holds 10-12 people and has a plunge area that is 4ft deep. The 10-foot outdoor RH dining table with bright yellow bistro chairs is perfect for poolside entertaining. There is also a covered terrace with modern RH outdoor couches and cushions, a teak RH patio table overlooking the water, and a Weber gas grill next to the pool. Finish off your day at the beach in our rain shower outdoor shower offering both hot & cold water + changing room near the pool deck.
*Please note that heating the pool & hot tub are extra. Pool heat can run anywhere from $60-$100/day depending on your desired temp and generally goes up 1-2 degrees/hour. Hot tub is considerably less expensive to heat as we have a very efficient cover that traps in the heat, even once the heater has been shut off. Final propane tally to be calculated at the end of your stay.
**Pool closes around the middle of October and will re-open April/May (weather permitting).
*** The hot tub is open year round.
