Offering panoramic water views, this estate on Flying Point boasts a coveted, waterfront lifestyle. Fully renovated and redesigned in 2018, the 5 bedroom, 3 and a half bath home, with carriage house, features a private beach, 3 outdoor terraces, gorgeous hardscapes and manicured grounds.

As you enter into the home you are instantly greeted by expansive views of the ocean. The wood beamed living room/dining room combo features a large fireplace and two doors accessing a massive patio, overlooking the ocean - the perfect place to entertain, and to watch sailing races, sea life and the tides roll in and out. The adjacent, light-filled chef’s kitchen has an AGA cooker and Wolf appliances, cathedral ceilings and offers a hidden “working kitchen”.  From the kitchen sink, you can glimpse Tinker’s Island and the Boston skyline. There is also a cozy breakfast nook with beautiful sea views - perfect for that cup of coffee as you watch the sun rise. A second patio is accessed from the back kitchen. On the other side of the living room fireplace is a wonderful family room that offers privacy as well as an ocean view.

Through the family room is the entrance of the master wing. The library offers bookcases and doors of glass that lead to another waterfront patio. Adjacent to the library is a fireplaced office space flanked by bookcases, and of course, more views of the sea. At the end of this wing is the fireplaced master bedroom, awash in light, with two sizable walk-in closets and an elegant master bath.

Upstairs are 4 bedrooms. A second master bedroom is awash in sunshine and offers uniquely private views of the ocean, featuring a large walk-in closet and a luxurious bathroom. There are three additional bedrooms all with sweeping ocean views and one more full bathroom. Conveniently located on the second floor, is the laundry room.

The gardens include impressive stone hardscape, perennials, and an expansive lawn for entertaining, multiple terraces for alfresco dining and viewing sunrises and sunsets. A renovated carriage house, just to the front of the house, offers two bedrooms and one full bath in addition to three garaged parking spaces.

Slip into the relaxed pace of oceanfront living from your private stretch of beach, where you and your guests can dip your toes in the water, fish from the rocks, or gather around a bonfire. This home offers a serene setting, nestled in nature by the sea, and embraces a rare, unprecedented lifestyle.
