If life in New England style luxury is something you might be interested in, check out this coastal contemporary waterfront estate. The Charlestown, Rhode Island, property features the obligatory pool as well as “a 50-foot dock with ocean access, and an observatory.”
Luxury in compact contemporary style
This stunning waterfront luxury home sports three bedrooms and 3.5 baths. It was “designed by award-winning Boston architect Brian Healy” to offer “four levels of coastal contemporary style.”
The property was recently listed by Teri Degnan Real Estate & Consulting at $11,250,000 and has a good chance of fetching that price. The property has a great location at the culmination of a dead-end street. The 6,023 square foot home is set on 2.09 acres.
Part of the home’s charming luxury is supplied by the geometric design. On one side sits Ninigret Pond with unobstructed water views from all three bedrooms.
Along the shoreline, the home is equipped with a private 50-foot dock providing Atlantic Ocean access. One of the home’s best features is the deck which “sweeps across the back of the entire second level.”
Inside, the luxury is just as spectacular. Currently, “the home’s interior features pops of blue paint.” There are “plenty of picture windows perfect for gazing at the water,” all equipped with window benches.
The ground level features the “family room with a fireplace, a bathroom, bedroom, bonus room, garage, and laundry room.” For convenience, the laundry is connected to a walk-in closet.
All the action
The second floor main level is where all the action is. Starting with a luxury two story living room which features a sloped ceiling, fireplace and interior balcony, there’s a whole lot more.
For instance, “a wood-paneled music room, a bedroom with a chartreuse accent wall, a bathroom featuring playful under-the-sea-themed painted tile, and a bonus room currently being used as another bedroom.”
The kitchen features modest white cabinets with pale blue counters. One luxury is an island with built-in cooktop. On either side are a dining room equipped with floor to ceiling windows and a sunroom.
Everything above this level is much more private and personal space. For instance, the third floor is entirely occupied by the master suite. A sitting area is included along with the bedroom and private balcony.
Also on the third level are “an office, walk-in closet, and the primary bathroom. The latter space offers a bathtub nook under a skylight, a double vanity, a shower with a bench, and a water closet.”
This arrangement allows for a home office – luxury apartment combination, ideal for getting work done without distractions at any hour. The fourth floor is entirely devoted to an amateur observatory for any avid astronomer but the space would make a great art gallery as well.
