"Live exactly as you wish” was the selling point of this majestic eight-acre residence with spectacular water views of the Miles River. Built in 1972, this expanded ranch-style home offers the charm of Old World sensibilities with many new world upgrades.
Just steps inside this home’s gorgeous front door, you’ll enter a foyer large enough to be its own seated reception area. It is from here you will get your first glimpse of the residence’s many design details such as its gorgeous wood molding and trim treatments, and beautiful hardwood flooring with inlaid detail. Above your head the ceiling in the foyer also offers an attractive tray effect.
The rich, chestnut-colored hardwoods flow into the main living area and kitchen. The kitchen itself boasts a large center island with a custom AGA stove and cooktop surrounded by a granite countertop. There’s plenty of space for a large breakfast table and chairs and the custom white cabinetry conceal other appliances, like the integrated refrigerator. A series of French doors flood the space with light, as does a strategically-placed pass-through to the home’s formal dining room.
This room also offers a series of French doors and floor-to-ceiling windows to afford extensive property and water views. The dining space flows effortlessly to the home’s formal, but comfortable, living room with its tray ceilings, central Federal-style fireplace, and bar area with glass shelving and built-ins. Again, floor-to-ceiling windows for water-viewing opportunities abound.
These areas of the home open to a large, covered and un-covered patio area at the back of the home. Lush, mature landscaping and perennials fill the space, and paths lead to the property’s greenhouse, private studio, and large, in-ground swimming pool. Back inside, the home offers a separate wing of bedrooms with a primary suite (with a spacious bathroom) and two guest bedroom suites. At the opposite side of the house, there’s an additional guest annex and a roomy den with handsome built-in bookcases.
The property affords lovely and desirable Southern exposure and offers plenty of ways to indulge a passion for the outdoors with its amazing gardens, private, bucolic setting, and a tidal cove where the property’s boathouse with lift is located. This protected anchorage provides easy water access for carefree days on the Miles River and beyond.
