Overlooking the outer harbor with views of the East Chop Lighthouse and Nantucket Sound beyond, this delightful contemporary possesses a casual elegance. The open design fosters a convivial ambiance as each living area flows into another. Three levels provide an abundance of living space yet fosters pockets of privacy throughout. Beamed ceilings, the warm patina of mellow hardwood floors, plenty of light and air entering through several French doors opening onto screened porches enhance the enjoyment of living in this charming home. Work and pleasure knit seamlesly together. The library/home office with full bath is sequestered at one end of the house away from all of the daily activities of a busy household. This could easily be converted to a first floor bedroom. On the second floor luxury awaits in the spacious master suite complete with a private balcony offering views across the harbor to East Chop, a sitting area with a fireplace, ensuite bath, and walk-in closet. At the opposite end of the house two bedrooms and a shared bath complete the upper floor. The lower level provides an entertainement area, game room, wine closet, cedar closet, half bath and laundry. French doors lead to the covered bluestone patio and barbecue area bordered by the rolling lawn stretching to the private beach. An attached garage, stone walls and gardens provide the finishing touches. Located in the R 25 zoning area the oversize parcel could support a detached carriage house/guest space with town approvals. The driveway parcel, 5-J-4.3, is owned jointly and maintained with the abutter.
