Tucked at the end of a desirable cul-de-sac, this architect-designed contemporary offers privacy, thoughtful passive-solar design, and a beautiful natural setting surrounded by Land Trust property. The cedar exterior, tiled entry, center chimney, granite bluestone flooring in the living room, and well-insulated 2x6 construction create a home that is both distinctive and comfortable. A dramatic wall of windows in the kitchen brings in abundant natural light and overlooks the peaceful backyard. Additional features include a woodstove, split A/C unit on the second floor, and flexible unfinished second-floor space offering excellent potential for a fourth bedroom, home office, or studio. Set on a private lot in a beautiful neighborhood, this exceptional home blends architectural character, energy-conscious design, and the tranquility of its protected surroundings. Ideally situated just 3/4 mile from Route 95 for easy commuting and only 1 & 1/2 miles from the water, this home combines convenience with coastal-area appeal. Ready for a fresh coat of paint, it offers buyers the opportunity to add their own style and create a home that reflects their vision.
