Extraordinary Watch Hill Estate -- Where Modern Luxury Meets Timeless Elegance. This extraordinary estate seamlessly overlays a 2026 custom-built modern luxury home onto the timeless character of the original 1890 built Lion Gate Inn, providing the perfect balance of contemporary sophistication and history. Set in the heart of Watch Hill and positioned on 1.45 impeccably landscaped acres in one of the area's most coveted neighborhoods, the property offers the rare combination of privacy and proximity, just under a mile from vibrant Bay Street and an easy walk to East Beach. Spanning an impressive 7,442 square feet, the home showcases a refined open floor plan designed for both grand entertaining and comfortable everyday living. A dramatic double-height entry with 10 to 12- foot ceilings sets the tone, while expansive floor-to-ceiling windows bathe the interiors in natural light, highlighting the home's clean lines and contemporary elegance. At the heart of the home is a chef's kitchen outfitted with top-tier appliances. The residence offers exceptional flexibility with two luxurious primary suites located on both the first and second floors, complemented by three spacious double bedrooms designed for family living. The walk-out lower level is a destination of its own, featuring a state-of-the-art media room, a beautifully appointed wine cellar, a full laundry area, and a private guest suite. Every detail of this spectacular home has been crafted to the highest standard.
