Hilltop English Country Aerial View

Our Hilltop English Country residence was designed to capture stunning panoramic waterfront views from every room and offers the serenity of a very private, 1.5＋ acre property.⁣

Highlights of the residence include comfortable living and entertaining spaces with custom details and millwork throughout – including a spectacular chef’s kitchen, butler’s pantry, wine room, walnut paneled study, and family room with stone fireplace & cathedral ceiling, adorned with reclaimed oak trusses.

When we shared photos of the home last summer, it was on the market, but has since sold.
