About this home

Private, serene waterfront retreat overlooking Mackerel Cove. Perched above the water, this lovely home has undergone a complete renovation of the main living area. A wall of windows showcases the exceptional water views, the beach and shoreline across the cove. Soothing color palette and vaulted beamed ceiling in the living room lend an airy feel to the open floor plan. Gourmet kitchen is nicely appointed, featuring custom cabinetry, stainless steel appliances and island with quartzite countertop and skylight above. Wake up to sunrises from the primary bedroom suite with a re-imagined spa-like bath. Design elements include a vaulted ceiling with a round window above the shower, separate vanities with marble countertops and radiant heated floor. Two guest bedrooms, one with a deck, and beautiful new tiled bath are on the second floor. French doors open onto the expansive deck, ideal for entertaining or simply enjoying the activity on the water. Relax in the hot tub under a rose-covered pergola on the bluestone patio, or sit by the gas firepit on those cooler evenings. Separate 624 sf loft-style guest suite. Nearby points of interest include Fort Getty, Fort Wetherill and Beavertail Lighthouse. Twenty-five acres of conservation land to the west. Private stairway leads to over 500 feet of shoreline. Steps from Mackerel Cove beach. This is waterfront living at its best!
