There’s beauty in solidity, especially when it comes in a Cape Cod-inspired solid masonry home enhanced with Kiwi style. This 514sqm waterfront masonry home employs authentic elements of the north-east American architectural style, such as deep verandahs, shingles and porthole windows, all meticulously crafted. But the four-bedroom, four-bathroom mansion built over two levels is designed for local living – and plenty of it. From the pillars at the entrance to the sweeping staircase, this home is grand. Every detail has been considered and executed with skill. It all speaks the language of the dwelling’s DNA, while providing an enviable level of luxury living, including locally made bespoke furniture and a scullery more roomy than many kitchens. Thanks to the home’s significant footprint, every bedroom is spacious and the upstairs main-bedroom suite is especially luxurious. Perhaps the part of the property that strikes the most authentic Cape Cod chord, is the loggia that flows from the family room. Here the owners can dine, relax and take in the manicured lawn running down to the water’s edge. It’s doesn’t take much to imagine looking out to the likes of Martha’s Vineyard or Nantucket islands.
