Privacy and solitude without isolation are a few of the key attributes of this beautiful property. Situated on a south facing point with over 6 acres at the end of a private road and surrounded by lands protected by conservation easements one feels immersed in nature and peaceful. The meticulously maintained cape-style home offers four bedrooms and four bathrooms, features many amenities including a recently updated kitchen with granite counters, stainless steel appliances, hardwood and tile floors, first floor primary bedroom with adjoining bath and even an outdoor shower! A spacious and comfortable great room decorated with a soaring fieldstone hearth and chimney rising 2 ½ stories to the cathedral ceiling. The property also includes an in-law apartment or private suite perfect for extended guests and is located over the heated 2 car garage allowing separate access. Another outstanding feature is the extensive covered porch surrounding three sides of the house, an inviting place to relax and take in the incredible views of neighboring headlands and islands, looking down the length of John's Bay toward open ocean. Just off the kitchen is a charming screen porch for outdoor dining and enjoying a warm summer evening. Take in the inspiring views and gorgeous sunsets, amazing wildlife including bald eagles, osprey, great blue herons, loons, seals and more. Beautiful mature landscaping and gardens, a level lawn for outdoor games and more than 770' water frontage. The shoreline provides easy access for swimming, canoeing and kayaking...for the fisherman, the best striped bass fishing is right in front of you.
