Travel out Brackley Point Road, turn right onto Britain Shore Road, the property is on the left. Be prepared to fall in love with "Linden Cottage", a name given from the 200 year old, imported Scottish Linden trees, which line the front yard of this grand property. Drenched in history, this home has been remarkably restored to retain the charm of it's era (circa 1820), but has also been thoughtfully updated to suit the modern needs of today. The house sits on just over 8 acres in a pastoral setting near Brackley Beach, with the main yard beautifully landscaped. The original barn, built by early Island craftsman, still stands on the property, showing its resilience to both time and weather. The Island stones that framed the original structure of the house still remain, and were expertly re-built by prominent stone masons, and can be seen inside and out. You will revel in the attention to detail in all aspects of this home, from the flooring, and trim to perfectly curated light fixtures and door knobs. Many of the original interior doors remain, which blend perfectly with the more modern finishes. The kitchen is well appointed with a 48' Wolfe gas range and a commercial sized refrigerator with plenty of stunning quartz countertops to make meal prep a dream. Despite the vastness of the home, it is kept cozy with 3 propane fireplaces, along with 1 wood-burning fireplace and a geo-thermal heating/cooling system. Two sets of French doors lead to the warm and bright sunroom, where you can enjoy views of the terrace, or enjoy quiet after dinner conversation in the den off the kitchen, that is complete with wet bar. At the end of the day, make your retreat to the expansive primary suite, which includes your own private sitting area, complete with one of the propane fireplaces. The suite extends to the spa-like ensuite bath, complete with a soaker tub, custom shower, and views of the tranquil outdoor surroundings. This home must be seen to be truly appreciated. (id:27476)
