Blooming hydrangeas, breezy bike rides, and sunny days by the shore: Those are just a few of the things people love about spending the summer on the New England coast. Especially along Cape Cod, or on well-known islands like Nantucket or Martha’s Vineyard. But, you don’t have to take a ferry to this special isle home now asking a cool $10.9 million.
Located on tiny Rocky Island in Bourne, Massachusetts, 75 Winsor Road captures the very best of classic, coastal Cape Cod living with exceptional privacy, sweeping waterfront views, and shingle-style architecture. One of the home’s most compelling features is its wrap-around porch, designed to take full advantage of the site and for slow mornings with coffee and a good book. Stepping inside through a Dutch door, the living room unfolds in refined New England style with some playful, nautical influences. Crisp white shiplap walls, a dramatic staircase, and exposed beams are the backbone of the room, while a soft blue-and-white palette introduces the interiors’ airy, yacht club-like ambience.
Built in 1891 but renovated in 2014, the 6,830-square-foot home melds preppy East Coast flair, antique charm, and contemporary functionality. Most notably in the seven bedrooms, which each show off whimsical personality and pops of color. Perhaps the kitchen is most transformed, however. It’s a natural gathering place, centered around a generously-sized island and equipped with high-end stainless steel appliances.
From the historic aspect to the privacy to the amenities, this listing is quite an opportunity for those with plenty to spend. Across the 2.84-acre grounds, there’s a pool and pool house along with a lush lawn that leads to a private dock and sandy beach for years of summer fun. Stewart Young of Christie’s International Real Estate holds the listing.
