STUNNING Shingle-Style waterfront on Cotuit Bay shimmers with warmth and style. Echoing the architecture of Nantucket sea captains' homes, this waterfront beauty is a superb blend of coastal style, breezy luxury, and uncompromising craftsmanship. Vaulted and coffered ceilings, rich crown moldings, quarter-sawn oak floors, plantation shutters, floor-to-ceiling windows, and classic hardware are some of the features throughout the residence's three levels of living space.A front-to-back central foyer opens to an elevated deck overlooking the swimming pool and bay. To the east, a casual floor plan accommodates a gourmet kitchen with gleaming mahogany island, high-end appliances, and classic cabinetry; adjoining dining area; and generous great room with wood-burning hearth and walls of windows overlooking Cotuit Bay. A media room is located just off the foyer to the west, beyond which is a lovely first floor master suite with sumptuous bath and beautiful views. A handsome staircase leads to a second level with two private wings. To the west, a second master suite with balcony overlooks pool and bay; while two additional bedrooms--each en suite--are located to the east. (A four-bedroom home with a six-bedroom septic system, architectural plans, and preliminary permitting are in place to create a two-bedroom/two-story guest apartment in the adjoining garage.) The sunny walk-out lower level offers exceptional living space, with a second kitchen, media/recreation room, wine cellar, and gym. This level opens to a lengthy, heated, salt water Gunite pool with stone deck bordered by ornamental plantings and an outdoor kitchen with Wolf grill, high-top bar, and Belgian stonework and retaining walls. The home is privately set on nearly two acres of professionally landscaped grounds with granite walkways and stairs. A boardwalk--with outdoor shower and power--leads to a world of endless recreation and relaxation on Cotuit Bay. At low tide, the shoreline is superb for clamming and swimming, and at all tides, offers deep-water boating access to Nantucket Sound. Stylish, welcoming, and luxurious, this home is simply perfect for vacation or year-round living.
