This exquisite home in Kittery Point, Maine commands a sense of respect for its understated beauty. Perfectly perched on Kittery Point, the stunning shingle style home is completely harmonious with its extraordinary waterfront location, including a private dock and riparian mooring. The patina of the weathered shingles melds effortlessly with the treasured coastline while the exceptional natural landscape design pays homage to the spectacular seacoast environment.  

Custom designed by William Ross Design of York Harbor in 1993, this is a home that is astonishingly beautiful, but in a way that is so subtle that it takes your breath away. With 700 feet of frontage on magnificent Pepperell Cove, and about 2.5 acres, this is an extremely private home that celebrates and respects the waterfront oasis. The cove location provides a secluded natural playground where you can play in the shallow water and walk along the rocks, but also moor a boat or fish off the private wooden pier. Gazing out at the endless horizon or sitting on the natural stone patio, it is easy to forget that major highways, cities and the hectic pace of contemporary life are just minutes away.

The first floor has a spectacular open concept and loads of windows and glass doors framing the splendor of the waterfront. Natural light and the colorful hues of the ocean and sky illuminate the interior of the home.

The details and clean lines of the home manage to be understated and impressive at the same time with little touches like the delicate tile work around the fireplace and hand blown Lundberg Studio’s art glass light fixtures that add color and style. The true divided light windows are strategically placed to maximize the views and welcome the fresh ocean breeze.

The kitchen is delightful and efficient with custom cabinetry, soapstone countertops, a glass tile backsplash in luminous blue tones that echo the ocean and top-of-the-line fixtures including the Thermador 6-burner gas cooktop with electric griddle. Beyond being a true gourmet kitchen, this room has comfortable feel where the cook would be as likely to can fresh vegetables right from the garden as to prepare an elegant meal for guests.

The entire first floor is perfect for entertaining whether it is friends enjoying conversation in front of the living room fireplace or a family group celebrating around the dining room table. In summer, the glass doors, deck and patio make it the ultimate setup for indoor/outdoor living or entertaining.

Perfectly designed, the main living level also includes a mudroom off the side entrance, powder room and a home office with incredible built-ins that represent a level of craftsmanship that is rarely found in newer homes.

The second level is a relaxing retreat that embraces the out-of-this-world views and connects the space to the vast ocean through a unique combination of large windows that also complement the architectural style of the home.

While the majority of the home maintains a classic simplicity, the master bedroom suite adds a stroke of elegant luxury. The master bedroom is spacious and comfortable with a huge walk-in closet and sitting area with bay windows that provide awe-inspiring views. The master bath is sexy with soapstone floors and countertop, hand blown Lundberg Studio’s art glass light fixtures and a lavish oversized soaking tub that sits in an alcove with an artistic array of windows that simply bathe the space in natural light. There is a separate shower and unique vaulted ceiling with interesting angles that add drama and light.

On the opposite side of the circular drive is a heated two-car garage with guest quarters above, which works wonderfully for entertaining, allowing privacy for the homeowner and overnight guests.

The astonishing grounds are artfully landscaped with tiered gardens, soft grasses and blankets of flowerbeds creating a perfect harmony with the natural beauty of the waterfront location. Sited on a private peninsula on Pepperell Cove, this is a private unspoiled paradise that is an absolute rare find so close to major cities, highways, shopping, airports and cultural centers.

This amazing waterfront home, listed by Barbara Dunkle of Carey & Giampa Realtors at $2,495,000, is a gem that can only be appreciated in person.   To schedule an appointment to see the home or for more information, contact Barbara Dunkle at (603) 498-7927.
