About this home
This Prairie style Frank Lloyd Wright inspired home features everything its renown architect Walter Pierce designed it to be. Merging seamlessly with the majestic beauty of Great Bay, granite outcroppings, trees and meadows, every aspect of the house allows residents and guests to enjoy its natural setting artistically sited on 5+ acres with over 450’ of waterfront. The custom designed details and high-end appointments throughout have been meticulously crafted by famed builder James D’Alessio and impeccably maintained throughout the years. Surrounded by conservation land, the home affords extensive privacy both inside and out. Warm interior wood finishes, walls of glass and soaring ceilings provide a true sense of living in harmony with the nature which surrounds you. The open and flowing interior is spectacular for both easy everyday living and entertaining on a grand scale. The custom kitchen features 42” SubZero 600 Series refrigeration, DCS 6-burner dual fuel range and Thermador ventilation. The Master Suite, located opposite the additional bedroom wing, features a spacious dressing area with multiple closets and custom built-ins. Exterior decks and balconies allow owners and guests to enjoy outdoor water view living spaces from their own private rooms. The spacious waterside patio adjacent to the kitchen provides the perfect area for outdoor relaxation and wildlife observation. Community dock, boat mooring and waterfront lodge is just a short walk from the house.
