"Tidesreach" reflects a seaside lifestyle's quiet coastal beauty, concern for the environment, and understated elegance. But the owner’s imagination included the potential for this house to be much more. Built for two people but with multi purpose space, the Library overlooking the main floor and with views out to the sea could become a wonderful bedroom. There is an office that could become a cozy nursery or an elegant dressing room.The spacious lower level could become a guest suite or teenager’s hideaway with double doors to a private patio, and there is space for a media room to add to the entertainment possibilities of this already exquisite home. First seen in Sweden, this Scandinavian design house has been built to exacting standards by the present owner. No expense was spared in obtaining the top-notch products to construct this executive home.. Thoughtful design allows natural light to brighten this house at all times of the day and is apparent in the creative and comfortable flow from one room to another. With all their creature comforts met, the owners added whimsy to their home, with a window so that you can watch the sea from your bath, a Butler's pantry that includes the laundry with a chute from the upper floor, a wine cellar to enjoy a good vintage, and a porthole in your front door. The orientation on the 6.6-acre lot was chosen with passive solar heating in mind and a view over their 500 feet of oceanfront. The property also reflects the character of its creator with a large, astrologically correct Armillary Sphere, and a school of folk art fish swimming through a sea of ferns. The spectacular sea cottage on the shore was designed and built by the owner with his knowledge and love of the sea top of mind. With its glass copula, jute trim, suspended wrought iron chandelier, and a cozy wood stove, nestled into the rocky shoreline, privately tucked from the view of the main house, make this little piece of heaven spectacular. And it could be yours…
