THE BEACH HOUSE

A brick drive leads to the helicopter pad, formerly a tennis court, and an outside 25’ x 50’ heated in-ground gunite pool, as well as the beach house and the dock, boat house, and boat ramp. The owner has brought in sand to enhance the beachfront at times. The newly renovated beach house (4 years ago) is also built in the arts and craft style. The exterior of the house was refinished this past spring: brick work, waterproofing, Tudor boards, and painting. This quiet retreat offers a large living room with a fireplace, a newly refurbished gourmet kitchen with a large center island, and a half bath, and a laundry room. The second floor offers two bedrooms with a dual-entry bath and a large primary suite with a full bath and walk-in closet. Throughout the home, there are wonderful water views and an abundance of sunlight brought in through the many window walls.

Heated by oil (a 500-gallon tank) with a 120-gallon propane tank for cooking. The in-ground pool is also heated by oil. There are all new and relocated AC condensers as well as whole-house humidification.

Sonos music system. Speakers in the kitchen, mudroom, and sound bars in the master bedroom and living room are all tied into the Sonos system. The rear patio and pool are tied into this as well.

Updated Rukus wireless network for coverage inside and outside of the beach house.

Basement drainage was completely reworked last winter. All new sump pumps with tandem back-up pumps. A fresh-air fan was installed in the basement in 2021.
