Cottage-style, picture perfect home. Located on a beautiful tidal pond with unobstructed open views of water, marsh, golf course, and offers significant privacy. (No one can build on the lot next door on right side of house.) Meticulously maintained and so many updates and improvements have been made. Kitchen offers French Vanilla-colored custom cabinetry with PLENTY of cabinet space and walk-in pantry. Island features a maple cutting board counter top and granite flanks the other counters. Great room has 20' ceiling and a wall of windows overlooking, both, the water and exquisite English country garden landscaping. Great room also offers a gas fireplace and STARK-brand carpeting featuring their "antelope" design plus Hunter-Douglas remote-controlled window blinds. Gas heat w central air on first floor and heat pump second level. Separate heat pump for the sun room! Formal dining room offers a beautiful electric fireplace with hand-painted tiles, and invites you to USE the dining room. Laundry room separates the garage from the living area of the house. THIS laundry room is definitely extra-large and the space takes full advantage of cabinet storage. Flooring in laundry room and sunroom is heated. Floors in both of these rooms are honed white limestone and mixed with Belgium blue (almost black) stone. Primary bedroom on second level offers a private balcony overlooking the natural views of wetlands, water, and wildlife. Primary bedroom is large enough to accommodate an adjoining sitting room. And next is the primary bath... the home's signature statement. Walk-in shower with a 5 X 7 hand-painted custom tile mural features a chinoiserie interpretation of the property's surrounding waterfowl and coastal landscape. Calacatta Gold marble basketweave flooring, dual shower heads, and a rain shower all by Newport Brass, and accented by a brass shower door handle developing a rich patina over time. Heated tile floors, antique delft light fixture, and claw foot soaking tub with unlacquered Newport brass fixtures including a nostalgic telephone-style hand sprayer! Two walk-in closets with California closet interiors in the primary suite and found in other closets as well. Three additional bedrooms - one with its own private full bath... Now it's YOUR TURN to look at the rest of this cottage-inspired, enchanted space because the list of amenities and features this one-of-a-kind home offers is endless. (But that list will be available for you inside the home!!)
