Sand Castle House is just that, a "castle" (5 bedrooms and 6.5 baths) perched on the dunes of its own penninsula, with water on three sides, and direct access to a private beach ("Twopenny Loaf Beach") that only the guests of Sand Castle and a few other
lucky neighbors have use of. Situated on four acres with the beach and ocean surrounding (and not a neighbor in sight!) the house is adjacent to protected greenbelt reservation land, guaranteeing your privacy and serenity while you "hold court" in your castle
in the sand. From almost every window in the house the view is of the Essex River and Hog Island and the Crane Estate in Ipswich, all undeveloped land which reinforces the feeling that you are in an untouched, incomparably beautiful place. Built in 2009 the
house boasts every modern amenity but is designed with the classic Cape Cod style intact with high ceilings, plentiful windows and lots of natural light, beautiful woodwork accents and moldings, all ensuite bedrooms, central air conditioning (in the bedroom
on the main floor and the entire second floor) and high end, but not ostentatious, furnishings and fittings.
Enter into the center of the house with a grand staircase that takes you up to the main level of the house. The huge and open living and dining areas have a wall of windows and sliders which lead to the massive wraparound deck overlooking the dunes and beach.
The kitchen is an "ell" off of the dining/living and is a very large with an island with a stainless steel trough sink (to put your chilled edibles and wines) in the center and granite counters. Kitchen amenities include all stainless appliances, 3 sinks,
a 6 burner commercial grade Blue star stove with two ovens, broilers, plus grill and griddle, two dishwashers, a wine refrigerator, separate ice making machine and more. Off of the kitchen is a breakfast area and more relaxed seating. There is also a separate
and comfortable fireplaced sitting room for quieter pursuits also with a large flat screen when the mood to watch strikes. A lovely tiled half bath with marble sink is just down the hall. Also on this floor is a queen bedroom with a sparkling white tile and
marble bathroom with a shower and of course views of the dunes and salt marshes of Farm Creek.
The second floor has two more bedrooms called the Sunrise and Sunset rooms (you can guess why) with amazing views and lovely ensuite baths with double sinks and tubs and showers. One bedroom is a queen and the other is a king and both bedrooms have two oversized
window seats that can accommodate a twin mattress each, so could sleep two more people if necessary. The lower level of the house is less formal and more fun with a large center room with a ping pong table, a "beach" bathroom (just outside is the path to the
beach) with whimsical Brazilian blue granite double sinks, a shower and a sauna and separate steam room. There are also two bedrooms (two doubles in one and a king in the other) with ensuite baths and finally the laundry room and a mini kitchen to supply the
necessary refreshments for your day of fun and sun on your own beach! In order to reserve this property, please call your reservation specialist toll free at (855) 517-2312.
