About This Home
Landmark home on it's own peninsula overlooking Buttermilk Bay with 485 feet of water frontage. The thoughtful layout combines the best of new and old world design. Panoramic views the water can be enjoyed from nearly every window. The front garden with mature garden plantings with picturesque arches offers peace and tranquility. This villa has great space for entertaining while maintaining a comfortable Cape Cod charm. Completely refreshed in 2012 while maintaining the architectural integrity of the style with modern taste. Walking through the front door you're greeted with water views, which expand as you enter and look out through a heated sun room. The main living space smartly brings the outside in, and the kitchen has beautiful countertops and backsplash custom designed for the home. In the formal living room are ever changing views, and a gas fire place. Upstairs bedrooms look out towards the sunset. A one of one property.
