The House
A closer look.
What ninety-five years of intention look like — in the craft, the grounds, the rooms upstairs, and the systems you don't see.
Craft
Built the way they used to.
The bones tell you what year this is. A steel-truss frame behind the brick. Solid wood doors with real weight. Wood gutters running to copper downspouts. Original shutters, each one carved with an anchor.
Inside, the early character is still doing the work — a hand-pounded kitchen sink, original cabinetry, built-in shelving, fireplace mantels, the dining room's corner cabinets, and original tile in the principal baths. Even the main waterline is brass.
The Grounds
Set up for the season.
The grounds do what the house does — they give you a reason to stay outside. A covered side porch with a gas fire pit. An outdoor kitchen with a stainless grill and cooler. An outdoor shower for the walk up from the water.
Copper caps the arbor, the pergola, and the wide hatchway. A circular drive runs behind a black fence and a lit flagpole. And a private pier — roughly 120 feet long, 7 feet wide — reaches out over the water with power, water, and lights running to the end.
The Upper Level
Its own quarters.
Under the eaves, the top floor is self-contained — a sitting room, a full bath, a compact kitchen with laundry. The water is always in the windows.
It gives the house a quiet independence. Room for guests or family, with a comfortable distance from the main floors below.
Stewardship
Kept current behind the character.
The period rooms look the part. Behind them, the systems are modern. Roof replaced in 2020 over ice-and-water shield. Thermal tilt-wash windows from 2014. Seven zones of hot-water heat (2013) with Wi-Fi thermostats added in 2026.
Underground 400-amp service. Commercial-grade alarm covering fire, theft, low temperature, and high water. Battery-backed sump and window-well drainage keep the lower level dry. Seawall rebuilt in 2008. Three propane fireplaces, a cleaned and inspected wood-burning chimney, and irrigation fed by the property's own well.
