Property Description
The scenic drive to Hirtle’s Beach is characterized by charming historic fishermen’s Capes strung together by the road that winds through the quiet seaside community of Rose Bay. With its pretty gothic dormer, #523 is in perfect keeping with the local vernacular. The façade embodies all the charm one expects from a classic coastal Cape, but beyond this first impression is so much more. A thoughtful ocean-side addition substantially increases the interior living space with a flowing open plan and a house-wide bank of windows and skylights infuses the interior with natural light and panoramic ocean views. The overall feel of the home is modern comfort, but historic elements remain such as beautifully refinished wide-plank softwood flooring throughout, original wide trim and wainscoting, built-in cupboards and fireplace.
On the main level, a beautiful front entry/foyer has been welcoming guests since 1850, and is flanked by a pair of bright parlours: HIS…with natural patina wide-board wainscoting & double built-in cupboards; HERS…with cheerful colours & ivory trim. A stunning kitchen with custom cabinetry and granite countertops opens to a dining area under a skylit cathedral ceiling, a relaxing 3-season sunroom, and a cozy living room with original fireplace, now fitted with an energy efficient Jotul woodstove. A full bath, separate laundry room, and a very handy mudroom complete the main level.
Upstairs, a house-wide shed dormer allows for height and light, with four large bright bedrooms, a generous main bath with oceanview soaker tub, plus a sunny reading nook in the front dormer.
Completely renovated for modern living with updated systems including in-floor radiant heat, new windows, upgraded electrical and insulation.
Outside, 2 acres slope gently to 200 ft of direct oceanfrontage. Park-like landscaping offers plenty of room for the kids, the dog, and the gardener. For the nautically-inclined, your own driveway leads from the main road to the shore where you can launch your boat.
The 2500 sq ft boathouse building sits on a solid cement slab foundation and has outstanding potential for a multitude of uses. This substantial structure has its own 200-Amp electrical service, and a portion of the interior is finished and currently used as office space.
