Description

Exemplifying coastal elegance, this 5-bedroom, 7,032-square-foot Shingle-style Cape estate enjoys an enviable perch on the banks of Megansett Harbor. Lush with green grass, perennial day lilies, and thriving trees and landscaping, the exceedingly private 2.68-acre property features more than 750' of water frontage, which affords expansive views from nearly every vantage point. At the end of a long drive, surrounded by flourishing mature trees, the home and its iconic style are introduced by timeless wood and cedar shingles; numerous divided light, bay, and Palladian windows with custom stained-glass detailing; and classical columns. From an architecturally striking designed foyer that features a tall ceiling, a glass chandelier, and a grand central stairway, spaces with maple and cherry hardwood flooring flow effortlessly: a window-wrapped living room, a formal dining room with a large bay window and a handsomely detailed fireplace, a wood-paneled library with a bay window and a fireplace, and a family room with a soaring ceiling, clerestory and Palladian windows, a stunning stacked-stone fireplace, and French doors to a small covered front porch and a harbor and ocean view deck. On the mezzanine level is a game room with a wet bar, a powder bath, dormer windows, and a small balcony. The spacious, light-filled kitchen boasts an island, counter seating, a brick fireplace, and a breakfast area in a bay with a lovely outlook over the water. Nearby is a butler's pantry with a wet bar and a dedicated temperature-controlled wine cellar with French doors. On the upper level are two cheerful guest bedroomsone with glass doors to a private balcony with a wide-open vista; a shared bath with generous storage, a tub, and a shower; and a third guest bedroom with a view and an en suite bath. The primary bedroom enjoys a bay window sitting area, regal columns, honey-hued hardwoods, a water-view balcony, two walk-in closets, and a luxurious bath with a glass-enclosed shower, a soaking tub, two vanities, and plentiful storage. On the uppermost level is a bedroom with a balcony, a kitchenette, and a bath with jetted tub and a shower. This is an ideal location for stargazing through a telescope. Closets are abundant throughout the home, and the sizeable, versatile full basement offers a wealth of storage space. Other highlights include an oversized three-door, three-car garage, a central vacuum system, and a generator.
