Never before offered for sale, this 5-bedroom West Chop home is truly outstanding. "The Lighthouse" announces right away that you are on an island and has nautical touches throughout. The owners asked renowned architect Margaret McCurry to design a stately residence for them that also sported a touch of playfulness. So there is a spiral staircase to lift you to a widow's walk among the treetops, two bedrooms with play lofts to spark children's imaginations, and light touches everywhere. The Great Room is beautifully proportioned, with a fireplace, large sitting area, a handsome dining space with built-in sideboard and graceful bookshelves. The kitchen is bright and inviting offering multiple prep sites, walls of custom cabinetry, and sitting/dining spaces for gathering everyone together. The Master bedroom is one of the prettiest you will ever see with a tall Palladian window and nearby window seat. The adjacent study/office can be closed off from the rest of the house. The design concept planned for sand and wet bathing suits and the results are airy, sunlit spaces that allow summer breezes that carry the sound of bell buoys and the smell of salt air. Three supersized decks insure lots of outdoor fun - and the property itself enjoys one of the highest sites in West Chop. Architectural Digest described it as a restful retreat and a safe haven. This West Chop home is elegant, comfortable, playful and just about perfect.
