Shelter Island Arts and Crafts with Pool
Step through its gate and experience the enchantment of this charming, turn-key Arts and Crafts Bungalow, circa 1931, set on a lovely corner in an old farming area, within close proximity to town, tennis, playground and beaches. With every turn, the lush visuals of flowering perennials, fruit-bearing and specimen trees, cherry blossoms and dedicated garden ‘rooms’ with organic beds will mesmerize and re-energize your spirit. The cottage, filled with many original details and tastefully restored, features a formal living room with fireplace leading to a breezy screened porch, formal dining room with views to a romantic sequestered garden surrounded by yews, a country kitchen renovated in 2009 with windowed breakfast area, soapstone counters, GE Profile, Bosch and restored vintage O’Keefe & Merritt gas stove, a top floor light filled master suite with Jacuzzi bath, and two additional guest bedrooms in the main house. A guest house has cathedral ceilings, an outdoor shower, pantry, and a secluded meditation garden with select plantings is one of the many delights secreted along the grounds, including the focal point, a 60×12 heated lap pool surrounded by yet more enveloping greenery and bluestone coping. This one-of-a-kind charmer has it all!
