North Shore Estate with Views to Buzzards Bay
Up a winding drive through a woodland park,
this five-bedroom contemporary home sits high atop Lambert’s Cove Road and commands extraordinary views over Vineyard Sound to Woods Hole, Falmouth and the Cape.
When the owners decided to purchase a home on the Vineyard 6 years ago, this house and this property had everything they were looking for. The owner explains: “We fell in love with the house when we saw it because of the quiet, the privacy, the space it provided for our family and friends and the room for indoor and outdoor artwork. The house would be a home away from home: with its expansive home office for working and writing books, three living areas, indoor and outdoor kitchens, swimming pool, and lots of wall space for our art collection, it perfectly suited our needs.” The owners found that the property is “a serene retreat overlooking Vineyard Sound that is less than 10 minute drive to stores and ferry but far from the bustling crowds.” They have “spent lazy days watching the ferries go by, cheering on the fishermen at Middle Ground, relaxing by the pool or walking through the woods down to the Makonikey Association beach to enjoy the sand and sea”.
When you first step inside the home you immediately take in the water views and the commanding fireplace created for the great room by the Island’s renowned stonemason, Lew French. The great room, adjacent dining room, eat-in kitchen with multiple work stations, charming sun room and outdoor deck create a gracious space for entertaining large groups or having intimate gatherings. “The house is so versatile, we could comfortably host sit-down dinners inside for 60 or house concerts with 100 people, or enjoy an intimate dinner for two on the deck,” said the owner.
The main floor is also where you find the first of three master suites. This one offers a wood burning fireplace, a walk-in closet with built-in shelves and dresser, a handsome bath with steam shower and an expansive, bowed wall of windows, with the requisite window seat where you will want to linger to appreciate the ocean view. In fact, as you walk from room to room to room on this level you are constantly aware of, and delighted by, the views of the Sound.
At the far end of the house, atop the oversized, 2-car garage, is the home office with its vaulted ceilings, walls of windows and built-ins aplenty. The owners found that “with the expansive home office, we never needed to leave our hilltop retreat”.
On the upper floor is a second master suite where the most sublime colors have been used to create serenity. The views here are even more extraordinary and there is also built-in seating here from which to enjoy them. There is a door out to a separate, smaller deck – perfect for morning coffee or afternoon refreshments; a walk-in closet and one of the prettiest baths you will ever find – with a big, beautiful soaking tub.
At the other end of this level of the home, across the open hallway that looks down over the main level living room, is a second living room with the unique architectural detail of a half-rotunda overlooking the water. This large room also has a wood-burning fireplace, with a tile surround the most gorgeous shade of blue, and comfortably fits a large amount of seating where this family has gathered to watch movies together. The water views from this room are unstoppable.
At the bottom of the stairs to the lower level, you enter into the 3rd living room/family room. This comfortable room offers direct access out to the fully equipped outdoor kitchen, the paved patio and the pool. It also has a kitchenette where guests can make themselves a morning coffee or find a light snack. At one end of this floor is the handsome 3rd master suite with another bowed window wall and private bath; while on the other side of the family room are two more charming bedrooms with their shared hall bath. This floor also houses the large laundry room, with sink and lots of built-in cabinetry, a big, walk-in cedar closet and a wine cellar. No one will ever find this home lacking in storage.
The owners found that the land itself offered them another outlet for relaxation and also for creativity – evidenced by the sculpture gardens and park they have created. “The natural swales and ridge tops have extensive paths and the landscape creates interesting spaces for outdoor rooms and artwork, and provides privacy from traffic or neighbors. The natural landscape supports rare orchids, stands of beetlebung trees and abundant wildlife.” A short distance down the hill brings you to the largest of the deeded Lower Makonikey Association beaches. “At the end of the day, we would walk to the beach to take a quick swim and enjoy the ocean,” said the owner. “These were perfect endings to perfect days on the Vineyard.”
This property is comprised of three conforming lots on which other homes can be built or which can be sold separately. The house is being offered furnished and equipped and much of the indoor and outdoor artwork on display will be made available to the buyer as a separate purchase.
Capture beautiful sunsets across Vineyard Sound and watch fireworks on 4th of July from Woods Hole to Hyannis from this stunning location.
