Singing Sands

Waterfront with dock! Manchester! This elegant yet comfortable four plus bedroom/four bath village home on desirable Smiths Point, is nestled on a lovely 3.5 acre level lot which is privately situated with views of the inner harbor and the ideal location being equally close to the beach and town (3/10 mile). This beach of unparalleled beauty, has an extra lyrical quality being named Singing Beach because the sand "sings" when it is stepped on. The village offers world class restaurants, galleries and shops all in a quaint, picturesque New England waterfront setting. The house is attractively furnished with antiques and centrally air conditioned. Enter into the spacious slate foyer which leads to the formal dining room graced by oils of family ancestors, a fireplace and stunning crystal chandelier. The spacious and sunny living room has plenty of attractive and comfortable seating around the fireplace. A long hallway is a gallery decorated with 19th & 20th century Marine Art, and leads to the two "kids" bedrooms which share a gleaming full bath and onto the large master bedroom with a private patio (with Brown Jordan furniture) and an outdoor shower with views of the harbor through the trees. The master bedroom has a four poster king bed, a sitting area with double pullout around the fireplace, a full bath with steam shower, double sinks and an oversize soaking tub. On the other side of the house is the ample open floor plan custom kitchen which is warm and bright, with a huge butcher block island, dining table and fireplace as well as a butler's pantry with wet bar between the kitchen and dining room. Outside the kitchen is a slate patio with grill and high end teak furniture for al fresco dining while enjoying the grounds and view of the harbor. There is a pleasant au pair suite off of the kitchen with a full bath, laundry and twin bedroom. The multimedia room boasts a 46 inch HD TV with sensurround and DVD/VCR in the custom built entertainment center as well as a large sectional sofa and a foosball table. Through a second entry and up the stairs is an office which doubles as a guest room with a queen sized air mattress on a full height frame available as well as another full bath with a shower. The owner will provide Singing Beach passes for the season! Plenty of parking completes this home that is just waiting for you to make it the perfect vacation oasis by the sea. Summer rentals require a minimum of one month rentals.
