Property Description
Once upon a time, this property was the location of the Sachem's Head Hotel, however, it has now been transformed into an iconic American sea view estate. This 2-acre promontory w/sweeping water views, offers; a 7,671 square foot transitional colonial home, a re-constructed party barn/pool house/office, a meticulously manicured Gunite pool area, a natural stone entertaining patio & a 3-car garage w/one European-style open bay. The home exudes understated elegance w/9.5' ceilings, 8" wide plank wood floors, exquisite moldings & recessed art lighting. A sunny home office is followed by a decadent aubergine den w/clever pocket privacy doors. The grand salon & formal dining room have 180-degree water views & 4 sets of French doors. The eat-in kitchen has sensational views through 2 floor-to-ceiling walls of glass! Cooking in this professionally equipped kitchen is a pleasure while watching the boats go by. The butler's pantry services both the dining room & kitchen. The luxurious primary suite is made up of: the bedroom w/sitting room, a beverage service nook, a private deck overlooking the water, an enormous walk-in closet and a deluxe bathroom! Most bedrooms in this home have water views & all have their own ensuite boutique-style full bath.
