Perfectly located on the bay of Paine Hollow and Blackfish Creek, our home offers panoramic waterfront views and a private, peaceful retreat. Whether you spend the day at home, on a beach walk, or visit the many surrounding trails, you'll love our home-away-from-home and all that Cape Cod has to offer.
About our house
Our hilltop location and large windows allow visitors to see the tops of trees and the tidal bay underneath, creating the impression of looking out from a tree house. From forests of native pitch pine to starry skies at night, nature will surround you during your vacation. Inside, you will notice abundant natural lighting, original art, and a mix of modern, antique, and mid-century furniture pieces. Our home has one story, allowing for ease of access across the home and deck. Our home was designed by Olav Hammerstrom, a renowned mid-century architect featured in ''Cape Cod Modern,'' which highlights architecturally exceptional homes nestled amongst the beauty of the Cape landscape.
The perfect layout
Our home opens to a large bluestone foyer with instant dramatic views and access to our expansive deck. To the right of the foyer, is our open dining & living space, dramatic vaulted ceilings with extra large picture windows overlooking the bay. Inviting and comfortable, the open space is a perfect venue for games, movies, relaxing or dining. The original designer's kitchen is separate from the dining area, with sleek dark birch cabinetry, white counters, and all the essentials to make meals, snacks and cocktails. For convenience, the kitchen offers a separate entry door, helpful for dropping off groceries!
The left side of the home features a primary wing with a hallway leading to a full bathroom and primary bedroom with a king-size bed, vaulted ceiling, and incredible water views. This room includes a built in desk with drawers, a large closet, armoire, and a TV. Off this hallway is an office/library with a pullout sleeper sofa/full and desk. The left wing of the home also leads to our bonus TV/room with two bedrooms and a bathroom attached, one with twin beds and one with a full bed. All bedrooms feature a built in desk with drawers and a large closet with shelves.
The expansive deck is a favorite feature of this home and is a living space all on its own. With comfortable Brown Jordan seating for 6 (including 2 loungers), you may feel you never want to leave. The space was designed for the enjoyment of the surrounding nature, but also convenient for dining, morning coffee, or even spraying off sandy feet after a fun day at the beach.
