Peaceful tranquility describes the setting of this contemporary home. Built in 1962 with extensions and renovations since then. This 1 floor home has a large Family Room with a fireplace, a south facing Living Room and Dining Room with walls of glass and access to the large deck and a vintage kitchen with skylight and large pantries. There is expansion potential into the Sitting Room on the north side of the house. There is a dedicated Office off the Sitting Room. A large coat closet in the foyer plus laundry and a 1/2 bath check many of the "must have, " boxes. The home has 4 bedrooms. The primary bedroom has a walk-in closet and full bath. There are 3 other BRs plus a recently renovated full bath that is handicapped accessible. Above the Living Room there is a loft that could be another study space or artist’s space. Off the family room is a delightful screened porch with cathedral ceiling. The views of the gardens and the lawn are especially wonderful from the porch. There is a 2-car garage located on the lower level plus a workshop with walkout access to the yard. The partial basement holds the new Furnace plus the 200-amp electrical circuit breakers and generator switch. The home has central air. Located on Chaffinch Island Road with easy access to Chaffinch Island Park there is a sense of neighborhood while the setting for the house is very private. Just a few miles to the Guilford Center, Train, Beaches, and Marinas this lovely home is a rare find.
