About This Home

This landmark home sits proudly on a private peninsula overlooking Buttermilk Bay with 485 feet of water frontage. The thoughtful design allows for panoramic views two bodies of water, which can be enjoyed from every room of the house, and the front garden with mature garden plantings with picturesque arches. This Spanish Colonial style villa has great space for entertaining while maintaining a comfortable Cape Cod charm. The home was completely refreshed in 2012 maintaining the architectural integrity of the style with modern tastes. Walking through the front door you're greeted with water views, which expand as you walk through. The main living space smartly brings the outside in, and the kitchen has beautiful countertops and backsplash custom designed for the home. The original villa offers first floor living with three bedrooms including the primary. The newer wing has a stunning living room and two large upstairs bedrooms private from the rest of the house with sunset views.
