Own an architectural masterpiece with waterviews! Rarely is a Robert Page (AIA) designed coastal home available and this is one of his most compelling. A collaboration with master builders Baldwin and Baldwin and executed with precision, this 3300 sf home with three exterior decks, (including a "Skydeck"), unfolds over four levels. Finished in 2010, this 3(+) bedroom, 3.1 bath gem offers 3300 lifestyle driven sf unlike any other beach area home you have ever seen. A true study in material, light and craftsmanship and just three homes from the Sound, w/rights to coveted Hartford Avenue Beach. Landscape designer Gordon Hayward shaped the exterior as an extension of the architecture with a rectilinear goldfish pond and a circular fountain for counterpoint. The open design allows the light to play all day on the rich Douglas fir vertical grain paneling throughout. The house tells the story of how much effort this took- everywhere you look, extensive custom hand-built cabinetry, bookshelves and cubbies. Anne Sacks provided the tile, granite, marble and soapstone countertops. Everything is premium and a very thoughtful choice-Noguchi Acari pendant lighting, McIntosh whole house sound system, Bosch, Dacor, Asko and Subzero appliances. 24 owned solar panels for energy, two custom "lifts"- one in the stairwell serves as dumbwaiter for all four levels and the exterior lift brings firewood to the second floor veranda.This property must be experienced in person to be fully appreciated
