A masterful fusion of Colonial New England heritage and refined modernity, this landmark estate has been meticulously reimagined through a comprehensive 2020 restoration. Every element has been crafted with precision, marrying historic authenticity with world-class design. Upon entry, the home reveals a breathtaking harmony of 18th-century character and contemporary sophistication-oak floors, shiplap walls, soaring vaulted ceilings, radiant heated floors, and original 300-year-old beams-all framed by sweeping waterfront views of the tranquil North Cove. The main level is a celebration of indoor-outdoor living, anchored by a grand room with a bespoke gourmet kitchen, inviting dining areas, a glass-enclosed office, a cozy fireside lounge, and a secluded den. The primary suite offers a serene retreat with full amenities, while a dedicated pool bath adds convenience. Ascending the architecturally distinctive gallery, the second floor unveils a luminous primary suite and four elegant guest rooms, each with its own en-suite bath. The third-floor walk-up, adorned with original vaulted beams and a half bath, offers a charming flex space ideal for a media lounge or guest haven. Curated for elevated living and effortless entertaining, the grounds include a heated saltwater Gunite pool finished in fine tile, a propane fire pit, dog run, and a distinctive Party Boathouse-perfect for launching kayaks and jet skis. A three-car garage/barn provides ample storage or expansion.
