The post-modern, shingle-style 4100 square foot house was
beautifully and thoroughly expanded in 2000. The house was
completely rethought by Joseph Waltman, who I consider the
Robert A. Stern of the Maine coast. The many architectural
details include: intricate wainscotting, raised panels, crown
moldings, French doors, transoms, oak wood floors throughout,
and custom cherry cabinetry.
The house is within 50 feet of the shoreline on all three
sides, and has been sited so that every room has direct water
views! The interior has been carefully furnished with personally
chosen antiques, including oriental rugs, and original Maine
art. The custom kitchen has cherry cabinets and ceramic tile
floors. It is fully equipped with a Viking professional six-burner
cooktop, Thermador double ovens with microwave, two Kitchen
Aid dishwashers, Cuisinart, mixer, and an ice maker in the
refrigerator. The house has a reading library, and is furnished
with two telephone lines, fax machine, laser printer and photocopier;
Maytag-Neptune washer and dryer; deck furniture, gas B-B-Q,
satellite TV, and a computer.
A formal entrance way provides access to a 28' by 16' Living
Room facing the water, with direct access to the wraparound
deck through three sets of French doors and a staircase to
the back gardens and deepwater channel. The Living Room also
has a wood burning fireplace. Off the Living Room, through
the French doors, is a 16' by 14' formal Dining Room with
seven windows, also directly facing the water. Along the front
of the first floor is the 28' by 14' Family Room, and to the
West the 18' by 16' custom kitchen described above with its
adjoining laundry room and full bath, again all facing the
water. A foyer/mud room provides access to a two-car garage.
Off the Living Room to the East and South is a 20' by 16'
Master Bedroom with full bath. The Family Room and the Master
Bedroom both have access to an 83' by 11' deck which runs
along the south and west sides of the house. Directly behind
the Living Room is a large screened porch for waterfront dining
and boat watching. 50" flat plasma Satellite TV, & 2-car garage. Wireless Broadband Internet.
Upstairs there are three large bedrooms and two guest baths.
One of the bedrooms has an adjoining sitting room, which can
be used as a fifth bedroom.
The property also has a dock for tieing up your boat or swimming. |
