"I WANT A CAPE HOUSE THAT FEELS A WORLD AWAY. I want the driveway to wind through the trees, leave the road behind, and then there it is - our beautiful escape overlooking the water. I want to wake up to amazing views, head down to our own dock, and sail out along the River to Pleasant Bay. I want lazy afternoons on the deck, long summer dinners in a screened porch... and a massive outdoor fireplace for cool nights. And enough room for everyone to be together but without feeling crowded." And here it is. Set high on nearly an acre above saltwater Arey's Pond, this shingle-style home has the feel of a fine yacht, with dazzling views, open gathering spaces, cozy nooks, fir floors, four fireplaces, and a bridge-like upper-level walkway. Great for entertaining, the wet bar in the living room is the mainstay while a delicious meal comes together in the timeless chef's kitchen. Outside, bask in the freedom of your private dock, play some croquet on the back lawn, pick some blueberries for a home-made pie, and spend the evening on the screened porch. Three bedroom suites feel like their own retreats when the day is done. Once you're here, there's really nowhere else you need to be.
