A GORGEOUS BEACH AREA OASIS, this Carpenter Gothic 4,000 sf yr round home on 1/2 acre (+), is right out of a lifestyle magazine (actually more than one!). A remastered late 1800's coastal home, this year-round hideaway is steps from the Sound, on a calm one way st. with room for all. 3 living levels -6 bedrooms, 3 full and 2 half baths. Formal and informal spaces throughout, a stunning stylish white chef's kitchen with large walnut island opens to a sunny family rm. with fplc. and wall of windows. Custom built ins in all the right places, a home reimagined for entertaining. A paneled library/office is cozy and just off the living room with 2nd fireplace. Family and guests will love spaces for work, study or unwinding together. The 3rd floor offers ideal overflow with 3 bdrms, one with roomy sitting area. Custom woodwork detail and specialty glass in both exterior windows and interior elements bring the home to a level rarely found. Skillfully upgraded, the result is a solid feel yet you feel that the beach is close through rich wood floors and a relaxed fun vibe. Indoor and outdoor living on a scale hard to find near the Sound. Top architect reworked this multi-generation home for today's ease of use. Experience a lush setting, complete privacy and a resort like feel with an 800sf heated gunite pool. A blue stone patio area (an outside room!) w/ stone fireplace can be reached through French doors from the dining room or kitchen for after dinner enjoyment much of the year.
