A beautifully designed coastal Nantucket-inspired waterfront estate brings together the rare collaboration of architect Gregory Frech and bespoke builder Charles Franklin. Sited on a protected cove, the home is graced by panoramic water vistas from every room. Five well-appointed ensuite bedrooms, first-floor 12' ceilings, travertine and hardwood floors, elevator, and sand sun-drenched interiors of timeless refinement. A commercial chef's kitchen with expansive pantry with water station and refrigerator/freezer drawers anchors gracious entertaining. The serene primary suite features a marble bath, sauna, steam shower, and heated floors. Additional rooms include media, recreation, office, gym, and wrapping. A Gunite saltwater pool, NanaWall doors at the pool house, limestone patio, and firepit elevate al fresco living, all wrapped in meticulously landscaped grounds. A commercial dock with multiple lifts, oyster beds, and a private beach completes this exceptional estate.
