Paradise Found
When life gets very busy, and our mind, body and soul are calling for rest; many of us dream of tranquil days in the sun, with a refreshing breeze blowing off the water, wind in our hair and the fresh scent of century trees and new growth all around, as we gaze out onto the horizon. Sound like Paradise?
Well, Paradise has been found! It’s located at 15 Redwood Lane, Carter’s Point, off Gregory Lane, just one minute from the Westfield Ferry landing at Harding’s Point.
As you meander down the winding tree lined drive, you get the feeling you’re in for something special. And special it is! Chic, understated elegance, boasting discriminating taste and awesome water views and fine sandy beach.
Life is different when you own a beach! Not only can you sunbath and wiggle your toes in the fine sand but on hot days you can jump right in for a refreshing dip whenever the mood strikes you. As twilight approaches, you’ll be mesmerized by the breathtaking sunsets glowing over the water. Invite friends over for the view while telling stories around a cozy bonfire enjoying marshmallows and S’mores. The fun is endless when you own a beach!
Not a boat can go up or down the St. John River without passing this house! Watch the sailboats quietly glide past, the powerboats with their spraying wakes or the Jet Skis zipping along. From every deck, porch and patio plus almost every window, you see it all. The deep-water anchorage close to shore is perfect for the addition of a floating dock or boat mooring. How picturesque and convenient to have your own boat moored right out front?
This property has been completely refurbished and extended both in the home size and land size. Quality abounds throughout from the finishes, lighting, window treatments, plumbing fixtures to the hardware, from Restoration Hardware, an upscale US brand. Is it a year-round home or vacation cottage? You decide, as this property really has it all! Million-dollar sunset water view, 384-foot fine sandy beach, deep water mooring for your boat, adorable guest cottage, and a stylish, inviting home, in mint condition.
From the moment you enter the double doors to the welcoming foyer, everywhere you look here you see panoramic water views, from the main level, second floor and even the lower level! It immediately becomes evident that the tasteful interior was professionally designed! The kitchen with gleaming quartz countertop, tiled backsplash, and crisp white cabinetry, is the center of the home. The included stainless-steel appliances (stove, refrigerator, microwave and dishwasher) are GE Profile while the dishwasher is an extra quiet Bosch. The central island has matching countertop with breakfast bar, handsome cherry cabinetry and wine storage. A set of double French doors leads to the dining nook, overlooking the water with three sides of glass. Watch the tranquil gliding of the Westfield Ferry from here.
The kitchen is open concept with the great room, with gleaming hardwood floors, cozy propane fireplace, amazing views and a second set of French doors leading to the covered porch. For me, this porch is the crème de la crème. Can you imagine sipping morning coffee here, listening to the trills of the birds, taking a few moments to scan the horizon over the river? Pinch me, am I in Heaven?
The main floor is complete with a nice sized bedroom with three closets, a full four-piece bath with deep soaker jet tub and tiled shower, front loading washer and dryer (included) and an attractive home office.
Up the turned hardwood staircase we find a three-piece bath with shower and stunning cut bevelled glass window. Three additional bedrooms including the master with four closets and spectacular water view completes this floor. The main and upper floor total 2000 square feet.
The daylight, walkout, lower level, is completely finished with huge rec room, perfect for large gatherings and entertaining in style. Sit down dinner for ten, no problem! Here we find another fabulous water view as well as the storage/mechanical room. I’ve seen very few homes in New Brunswick with the view this level has! With the finished lower level, is rough plumbed for an additional bathroom and the total finished space equals 3176 sq feet. Double French doors lead to the hand-laid stone patio and second covered porch overlooking the water. This patio is the perfect place for the barbeque, right outside the rec room, guests can meander inside and out.
The adorable, 504 square feet, one bedroom guest cottage is the pièce de résistance! This professionally designed interior includes open concept living, dining and kitchen complete with refrigerator, microwave and stove. There are sunny, picturesque windows overlooking the water, another cozy propane fireplace, and extra wide plank flooring. The full three-piece bathroom with shower is located on the main floor and a wood staircase leads to the spacious bedroom on the second floor. The view from the cottage is down river towards Grand Bay overlooking the Westfield Ferry. There is a large, attached deck with outdoor shower as well, very convenient when you come up from the sandy beach. Stairs to the beach are right beside the cottage. Lucky the guest invited who stays here!
No worries about Spring Freshet or river flooding here! Not only is the house and cottage well high of the river but the addition of the stone seawall prevents erosion to the grounds and lawns.
The beautiful grounds with majestic century trees, blooming shrubs, flat lawn, and perennial beds are meticulous. What a lovely area for an inspiring conversation with friends around a fire pit. The heating system is in-floor hot water on all three levels of the home plus ductless heat pump for cozy, economical heat and air conditioning. The electrical entrance is 200 amp, the water source is drilled well, and the sewer system is a 1000-gal concrete tank with a field. A very important feature of this property is the full house automatic generator! No worries about power outages here! If the power goes out, the lights blink once, and the generator automatically kicks in. Nothing for you to do, you won’t even give it another thought, providing total peace of mind in any storm.
If I’ve ever seen a property, I would label as magical, this is it! For more information and your private appointment to view please call or text Katherine Bacon, Global Luxury Specialist™ at 506-650-8575.
