This stunning modern/contemporary home, tucked away in the Alewife Cove section of the Ocean Beach neighborhood, features a thoughtful use of glass, stone and wood. One enters down a stone path into the main living area, which is heated by passive solar. The open floor plan and exterior creates a feeling of spaciousness, while the remarkable solarium and beautiful tree within it provides its own oasis. Upstairs bedrooms overlook the solarium. A room off the laundry area could serve as a fabulous artist's studio, having its own entrance from the carport. There is a studio/guest suite with its own private entrance and deck. So many exciting possibilities, it could be rented out or used as office space. Steps to Alewife Cove for enjoying birdwatching and sunsets. A half mile walk to the beach! Multi-split units provide air conditioning and supplemental heat. This home is energy efficient. Conveniently located between New York City and Boston. The perfect summer home, weekend retreat or year-round home! Motivated seller, relocating due to work.
