PANORAMIC WATERFRONT IN THE HEART OF ROTHESAY!
Panoramic view from all rooms of this professionally designed, one level, seven year old home located on the beautiful Kennebecasis River in the heart of old Rothesay within walking distance of RCS. This home sits on just over 1/2 acre, with the bordering full acre jointly owned to preserve the view. The interior of this home was designed by Katherine Bacon, listed in "Who's Who In Interior Design" representing the top 100 designers worldwide from 60 countries.
Impeccable is the only way to describe this property with exquisite attention to detail inside and out. The initial view of the exterior gives the impression of an unpretentious shingled Nantucket cottage. Privacy abounds this property protected by cedar hedges at the end of a private lane. Upon entering the home, from the covered portico you pass through the vestibule and foyer to the great room where light and openness abound with window walls looking out onto the Kennebacasis River, Long Island, Dury Cove and beyond.
The great room, dining room and kitchen combine to portray one large comfortable and at the same time elegant space. Interior designer, Katherine Bacon, has added the finishing touch, refining every detail of the interior. The secondary is an exceptional custom fireplace with granite raised hearth, surrounded by windows, featuring built-in lighted curio cabinets down both sides to display your collectables. A custom built, white pickled pine, wall unit and entertainment center completes the area with lots of space for an over-size concealed TV screen. A built-in illuminated frosted-top pedestal to the right of the foyer displays your favorite object d'art. The formal dining room can comfortably sit ten and enjoys beautiful large windows and direct access to the deck. The large pickled pine china cabinet with illuminated buffet was hand built especially for this home to match the great room entertainment unit. Electronic window treatments by Hunter Douglas Silhouette featuring Power Rise on remote!
Colors are purposely light and airy allowing more attention to your furnishings, china, collectables, rugs etc. The home features crown moldings throughout as well as white pickled ash hardwood flooring with ceramic in all bathrooms.
The heating system is a top of the line geo-thermal electric water based heat pump providing economical in-floor heating throughout. Drinking water is from your own private drilled well with a water test available for your viewing showing perfect clarity & potability. The private road to this property is paved.
The wrap around deck with tinted tempered glass railings affords an unobscurred panoramic view. The tinting prevents birds from colliding into the glass rails. A beautiful outdoor Jacuzzi spa tub completes this area.
Landscape designer Carol Chapman has designed the beautiful gardens with flowering shrubs and perennials providing changing color throughout the summer and evergreens adding textured beauty year round. Meander down brick walkways near the shore to admire the perennial beds while the structured vegetable, fruit & cut flower garden is on the south side of the property. A hearty rose hedge follows the entire west side of the property camouflaging the cement retaining wall, which protects the lawn & gardens from the spring freshet.
This home includes many features such as central vacuum system, air exchanger, water conditioner, built in humidifier, alarm system with smoke detectors and all wood blinds. Special features include carbon dioxide detectors, plus built in Bose surround sound stereo system.
