Just steps from the beach

Contempora­ry colonial takes advantage of water views

- By Bernadette Blaze

Begin the day watching the sun rise over Long Island Sound from the master bedroom of this magnificen­t contempora­ry colonial located just two houses away from the beach in the borough of Woodmont. Custom- built in 2014, the home was expertly designed from top to bottom to take full advantage of the captivatin­g water views with a flexible floor plan that can accommodat­e any style of living.

The owners were attracted to the fabulous location, steps from the beach in a neighborho­od that also has easy access to major transporta­tion such as the train or I- 95.

“Woodmont is a well- known, desirable location for so many reasons,” said the owners. “It is a great place for all water- related activities, and you can walk to restaurant­s, the bank, grocery store or even to grab a coffee or an ice cream.”

They designed the five- bedroom home with a unique layout, creating the main living area on the second level and private inlaw arrangemen­ts on the first floor. The house was designed with convenienc­e in mind and was framed to accommodat­e an elevator in the future.

“The first floor is a perfect retreat with a fully applianced summer kitchen, two bedrooms, full bath, an office and a private patio,” the owners added. “It is great for overnight guests or inlaws.”

Entering the home, the foyer is graced with handsome wall panels and a grand stairway that is open to the main living area. Here, spacious rooms with wide, arched windows create an inviting atmosphere bathed in light. The living room features a striking linear gas fireplace surrounded by granite and detailed custom cabinetry. The living room is open to a huge kitchen that is an absolute delight among top- of- the- line appliances, a stunning granite island with bar seating, matching backsplash, dining area and sliders to a balcony with views of the water.

End the perfect beach day retreating to the tranquilit­y of the master bedroom suite with sliders to an expansive deck overlookin­g the water. The luxurious master bath is complete with a steam shower/ sauna and walk in- closet and sliders to the deck.

“It is just incredible to watch the sun rise each morning from this oasis,” the owners said. “We will miss that along with the full moons at night and sunset strolls along the beach.”

The deck off the master bedroom is perfect for entertaini­ng, dining al fresco, or enjoying evening cocktails while taking in views of the Sound.

An office with water views completes the second level, offering an ideal space for working from home.

The versatile third floor offers additional living space highlighte­d by a living area with window seat overlookin­g the water, and a bedroom suite with cathedral ceilings, walk- in closet and water views.
