Asian influenced small jewel with stunning wetland and open bay views. A cobblestone drive, filled with elfin thyme, leads past the high arbor vitae hedge into a beautifully landscaped garden and the gate to the house. The gate opens into a large interior courtyard with views to the bay beyond. Built c1980, the house was renovated and expanded for the current owner. The natural oiled walnut floors give it a mid-century asian feel, enhanced by vintage George Nakashima furniture throughout. The house's central great room, with its wood burning fireplace, also includes a custom kitchen. Built to resemble a vintage Japanese cabinet, the kitchen has walnut sliding door cabinets and stainless steel and green granite counters. The master bedroom has a walnut platform bed and a Nakashima chest of drawers, while the ensuite master bath has a concrete sink and hand painted linen wall covering. Two guest bedrooms, and another bathroom, are at the opposite side of the house.,There's Lutron lighting in every room, a multi-zone Bang & Olufsen a/v system throughout and a 42" TV concealed behind a woven bamboo panel in the great room. The incredible wetland and bay views also extend to the screened-in porch where a green granite countertop incorporates built in wine and regular refrigerators, a dishwasher, a copper sink and a pull out for storing dishes and serving pieces, as well as a 10 foot long Nakashima walnut live edge shelf. It is the perfect summer kitchen. Outside, a gunite lap pool is set into the mahogany deck, which is lined by reeds and grasses. Unbelievably private and secluded, the house is a short walk to the beach. It is being sold fully furnished and has appeared in numerous design and other magazines - including having its own segment on the HGTV program "I want that Kitchen".
