Exit 10 from Highway 103. Right on the old Highway 3 into Mahone Bay. Left at monument. House on right overlooking the bay as you exit town direction Lunenburg. Castaway is a reinvented classic Cape style home partially built upon the remaining, large-stone foundation of a 200-year-old early settler?s homestead. The house consists of the original Cape, a newer great room addition and an adjacent attached double garage with great family room in the loft. A connecting front foyer acts as a breezeway between the garage and main body of the house. As one enters the front foyer, one is struck by the unusual angles and natural light sources with exposed beams and unexpected architectural detail. A staircase to the left, leads through double French doors to a great room with this home?s, prime vantage point looking out to sea. As one enters the house there is a living room with gas fireplace to the front and a generous sized eat-in kitchen.. Off the kitchen in the rear extension is a large dining room. The principal bedroom suite has two generous sized closets and 5-piece bathroom. The personal bath also opens onto a small office/library space which has an alternate door to the dining-room. The upstairs consists of two bedrooms and a family bath. From the front bedroom in the eaves, one enters a diminutive mezzanine reading corner which looks out through a skylight to the bay. This home has exceptional millwork, all in solid wood displaying superior craftmanship. Most floors are wide pine planks, and this design in its uniqueness is unlike anything in the country. The home has lovely water views and a warm welcoming spirit of a bygone era. The commanding view of Mahone Bay will have you entranced, while the hot tub and hot water shower are the icing on the cake. This house is fully furnished and move in ready, including all appliances, linens, cookware, and furniture. Bring groceries and enjoy the Webber BBQ while sitting in the Adirondack chairs.
