This is a lifestyle property par excellence. Living here will change your life if you let it…and why wouldn’t you! When we are lucky we try to “escape” for catharsis holidays to idyllic places, like Bermuda, for a little piece of this lifestyle. Relaxing and sipping a cool drink at the water’s edge, privately soaking up the sun, watching the grandkids splash about (or not)…we feel the stress evaporate…we tell ourselves we deserve this water-therapy kind of peace…AND WE DO! Unfortunately Bermuda is over 800 miles away. Shaw Island, on the other hand, is right here on the South Shore, less than an hour from the stress-filled city. You may have never heard of Shaw Island, or know exactly how to find it. That’s just fine…call it “accessible remoteness”…all part of the aforementioned enchanted island lifestyle, a four-season escape (even if you’re obliged to commute into the 8-to-5 world periodically). Your glass-fronted island home is, indeed, at the water’s edge…door to deck to dock. The home is situated on a protected cove just over the Shaw Island private causeway, backed by a shield of tall trees and lush shrubbery. The sea-walled water frontage wraps around the property with beautiful ocean views from every room. The exquisite house was built in 1971 to a timelessly elegant design, with regular upgrades and freshening right to the present. The room plan is simple: On the first floor a large open & bright living room (with fireplace for winter coziness), kitchen (opening on to the deck for summers filled with al fresco dining) and a second bedroom (or den) plus half bath. The upstairs is devoted to the master suite with its polished softwood floor, immaculately white tiled bathroom and…yep…more of those gorgeous blue water views. The third ensuite bedroom comes in the form of a 200 sq-ft guest wing connected to the house at both the deck and foundation levels. So, if you feel a “lifestyle change” coming on, then come have a look at Searose on Shaw Island. Prepare for love at first sight!
Hwy 103 to Exit 8 to Hwy 3. Right on Hwy 3; left on Eisnor Road to Shaw Island Causeway. Civic #51 is the first property on your left after crossing causeway. Look for the Red Door Realty sign!
