A coastal Cape Cod luxury retreat located within one block of The Strand. Attain that essential work-life balance by simply walking through your own front door. This custom home’s distinctive design evokes a sense of casual comfort through a fusion of eclectic elements, exotic natural materials and rich finishes.
Park the car and stroll to all the community activities downtown and at the beach. Easily shop the local boutiques for unique finds and enjoy the many dining options from hometown pubs to Michelin star fine dining, all within walking distance of this incredible luxury residence. Life at 125 8th Street can be one long weekend without sacrificing a distinctive aesthetic.
A beveled glass surround adds a touch of elegance to the home’s entryway. Follow the stairs upward to the main living and entertaining areas that offer gorgeous ocean and beach views from many vantage points throughout. The living room extends to a wrap-around deck that takes in front-and-center views. Exquisite finishes such as crisp, white wainscoting, a delicate iridescent tile fireplace surround, shiplap finished gable ceilings and woven rattan ceiling fans deliver a truly refined coastal environment in which to relax and enjoy entertaining both family and guests.
Step up to the chef’s kitchen which is situated at the heart of the home. Seamlessly connected to all the main entertaining areas, the kitchen offers an open concept working space. From the over-sized center island topped with leather finished granite counters, to cabinet faced premium appliances, to delightful details discovered in the backsplash and drawer pulls, this kitchen is flawlessly executed. Built-in wine refrigeration, double ovens, a warming drawer and large pantry are just some of the many amenities that make this space exceptionally functional.
The kitchen naturally flows to an elegant formal dining area with high ceilings and a built-in buffet. Beyond the dining area bi-fold French doors open to a formal study (or 5th bedroom), which is finished with stately shiplap covered gable ceilings and opens to a large ocean view deck. Splendid wall coverings and a charming wood-cased portal window accentuate the guest powder room area.
The main level finds three-bedroom suites and the laundry/utility room. The master suite is situated on the south end, taking advantage of private ocean views. It is a sophisticated retreat featuring exceptionally executed designer details such as wood-cased portal windows, shiplap ceilings, a fireplace with marble surround, double sets of French doors, designer window coverings and caged glass linen cabinet doors.
The master bath presents an over-sized jetted tub for easing the day away, as well as a separate walk-in shower with bench seating, toiletries shelf and multiple shower heads. Step up into the walk-in closet that is finished with custom closet organizations complete with built-in dressers and shoe shelves. Elevated design selections such as marble basket-weave floor tiles and marble countertops flawlessly complete this inner-sanctuary.
Two additional, well-appointed bedroom suites are found on the north end with shared access to a balcony. The full laundry/utility room is conveniently located on this main bedroom level and it features a folding counter, side-by-side appliances and a utility sink with hanging drying bar. The hall linen storage is beautifully finished with caged glass doors. A 3-stop elevator delivers to the beach level below, and the home also enjoys zoned air-conditioning, all powered by solar energy.
Kick off your shoes and relax in the beach room that opens direct to the large front yard space. Entertaining is made easy with a full bar and kitchenette area complete with a built-in electric cooktop, microwave, dishwasher, refrigerator and freezer drawers and icemaker. Gather on the elevated patio to soak in those incredible beach and ocean views while waiving to neighbors as they pass by on the walk-street.
Rinse off the beach sand from the outdoor shower before heading back inside. The beach level also features what is now a home gym but could be used as a guest bedroom and a full bath. Step up to access the over-sized 3 car garage – a rarity this close to the water.
