Sense of place is the initial impression one ascribes of 23 Ocean Street in Manchester-by-the-Sea. This spectacular Contemporary home could easily be sited on the rugged Northern California coast, yet here we are on the refined North Shore of Boston. The property overlooks White Beach, the coastal marshes spreading toward Black Beach and the open Atlantic Ocean. The elevated position above the shoreline ensures privacy and enhances the rhythm of the sea. The great room has cathedral ceilings, fireplace, bookcases and walls of glass that frame the ever-changing views. Sliders lead out to magnificent multi-level decks that provide sublime entertaining spaces. The kitchen features contemporary white cabinetry, high-end appliances (Thermador, SubZero, Meile). The primary suite has luxe bathroom, fireplace and a home office in the tower. How cool! An intimate library, two additional bedrooms, one en-suite rounds out this level. First level bonus room with bath, two car garage & gardens.
