This 11 room terraced Mid Century Modern Home overlooking Little Harbor and James Island which has been recently acquired by the Cohasset Conservation Trust was completely reconstructed in the early 1990's with the finest woods available and custom cabinetry. The media room is spacious with natural light filtering in and a built-in entertainment center and wet bar. The living room features a marble fireplace and custom crafted pickled wood ceiling. A gracefully curving bridge through a Japanese garden leads to the front entrance. Computerized central radiant heating system from Denmark assures the floors and walls will be warm and the rest of the residence will have perfect climate control year-round. All principle rooms, extensive decks and terraces offer dynamic views of the harbor, bird life and the ever changing beauty of James Island. Spectacular Sunsets!!
