About This Home
As of November 2024Experience breathtaking sunsets from the comfort of your owner's suite in this one-of-a-kind custom-built home. Crafted before the era of track builders, this residence embodies the unique vision of its original owner, with a layout that defies today's open floor plans. The architect, who had a deep love for angles, created a design that adds a distinctive flair to every room. Every corner of this home tells a story, with cozy reading nooks and intimate spaces perfect for conversation and socializing. With its mountain-inspired design and sky lodge ambiance, this home is truly unlike anything you'll find today—and will never be replicated.
This elegant, custom-built 3-bedroom, 2.5-bathroom residence offers 2,800 square feet of thoughtfully designed living space, perfect for comfort and relaxation. As you step inside, you'll be greeted by ash hardwood floors in the great room and dining room, creating an inviting atmosphere. The great room features vaulted ceilings with exposed beams, highlighting a stunning 24-foot stone fireplace and hearth, complete with a woodstove for cozy evenings. French doors open to expansive cedar decks, seamlessly blending indoor and outdoor living.
The gourmet kitchen is a chef's dream, featuring custom-built solid ash cabinetry, a Jenn Air downdraft range, convection oven, and an oversized sink. The adjacent dining room offers an intimate setting for meals, with French doors leading to another cedar deck—a perfect spot to unwind. The nearby family room invites relaxation and opens to a screened-in porch, which leads to a paver patio, ideal for entertaining.
Up the custom-built solid ash staircase, you'll find the luxurious split-level owner's suite sanctuary on the second floor. This private retreat includes cedar decks, dual walk-in closets and vanities, and a spa-like ensuite bathroom with a two-person triangular Jacuzzi tub offering panoramic views. A 300-square-foot loft accessed from the owner's suite provides additional space for a home office or personal hideaway. Two more bedrooms with a Jack and Jill bath and a second-floor laundry room add convenience and flexibility.
This home is equipped with a highly efficient dual-zone hydronic heating system, blown-in insulation in the walls, and Anderson windows and doors throughout, ensuring energy efficiency and durability. The oversized garage offers ample storage space and includes a sink for added convenience.
Located less than a mile from the beach, the Salt Pond Community features a mid-length, executive 18-hole golf course, a community recreation center, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis and pickleball courts, a children's play area, and more. Experience luxury living surrounded by nature’s beauty in this meticulously crafted home, where every detail enhances your lifestyle. To truly appreciate the distinctiveness and craftsmanship of this home, you need to see it in person. Don’t let this paradise slip away—schedule your private tour today!
