Original Deck House Sold on Little Harbor in Wareham
20 Maritime Drive, Wareham
SOLD at Full Asking Price, $1,700,000
Wareham’s Gold Coast offers us one of her hidden gems in this Little Harbor waterfront beauty. The current owners have restored an original Acorn Deck House to exacting standards and created a timeless homage to contemporary architecture and mid-century modern style. Privately sited on 1.2 acres, on a natural rise above the cove, the views reach out to Little Harbor Beach and Buzzards Bay. Direct water access is achieved with a boardwalk over the marsh. Mature plantings provide shade, and the lawn area is lush, ready for play.
Once inside, the elegant luxury of hand finished wood, Spanish flooring, period fixtures and lighting, and a gourmet kitchen set the tone for gracious living. GE Cafe appliances, leathered quartzite and custom cabinetry greet the nascent chef. This is a must see home for the buyer looking for southern exposure on the water, exquisite renovation details and sophisticated surroundings. This gem is ready for a new chapter. Are you the next lucky steward?
