"Cottages on the Bay". This waterfront property will steal your heart. Nestled on a hillside offering panoramic and inspiring water views, the idyllic setting is the perfect location for these English country inspired storybook stone cottages. The 2-bedroom main house was constructed in 2006 and extensively renovated in 2011 by the current owners providing high-end materials and finishes throughout its 912-sq. ft. interior, the beautiful new stone facade and the addition of real mahogany decks and screen porch overlooking the water's edge below. In 2012, the second 816-sq. ft. cottage was handcrafted to serve as a large library/studio/entertaining area with extensive built-ins and a fieldstone wood-burning fireplace. Both buildings feature architectural details, state-of-the-art HVAC systems including radiant heat under Australian cypress flooring, and walls of glass affording breathtaking views of Great Bay. The main kitchen includes Subzero Pro 48 refrigeration, Wolf range and Fisher-Paykel dishwashers. Fabulous outdoor lawn and living areas create private enclaves with spectacular multi-directional water and wildlife views. Enjoy personal watercraft and small boating from your own dock.
