The nuts and bolts

Built 1998
House proud
This shingled home has been fully renovated inside and out, with extensive landscaping and lush plantings, new walkways and patio and a new gunite saltwater pool.
“There are only a few homes on this section of the road, and this one is close, if not the closest, to the open water,” says Stacey Cohen, the agent at Saunders representing the listing. “There is a lot of privacy because there is so much planting between the houses, so you can really feel secluded in your own little private hideaway.”
What’s the plan?
The great room is anchored by a wood-burning fireplace and features a 18-foot-high vaulted ceiling, floor to ceiling-line windows in stylish black casements and high-gloss painted wood floors. There are two en-suite bedrooms on this level, each with a walk-in closet; and a media room with an adjacent full bathroom in the hallway. The second floor is split into two wings, each dedicated to a bedroom suite with separate sitting areas and each having a private terrace. The larger primary suite is 514 square feet in the combined bedroom and living room with built-in shelves, two walk-in closets, and the junior suite is 433 square feet and features a wood-burning fireplace that can be converted to gas.
What’s cooking?
The 265-square-foot kitchen adjoins a waterfront-facing dining area of 186 square feet, and includes a pantry. The stylish black country cupboards are topped with Silestone and the center island offers additional storage. The appliance suite includes a Thermador range, Sub-Zero refridgerator and Miele dishwasher.
What else?
The upper terraces face Menantic Creek and are large enough to accommodate furniture.
