This sophisticated year-round retreat is an ideal waterfront escape with stunning water views over the Essex River and a private tidal dock. The 2009 award-winning design by internationally renowned architect, Brian Healy, features a flexible floor plan with a focus on clean lines and natural materials. Walls of oversized windows throughout maximize views and blend with the natural landscape of mature cedars and rock outcroppings. Sited on a granite rock with concrete foundation, the house, perched high above Lufkin Point, welcomes you with its calm presence and abundance of natural light. The highest quality natural materials were carefully chosen; white oak custom built-in cabinetry, shelving and pocket doors, bronze hardware, slate flooring and countertops and Loewen windows. The floor plan is intentionally open-concept while sliding pocket doors allow for separation when privacy is desired. The first floor features a chef’s kitchen, living/dining room with walls of windows and access to the outdoor patio extending the living space, a bedroom with exterior access and ½ bath. The second floor features a primary bedroom with a picture window overlooking the water, a spa-like ensuite bathroom, and a sitting area with fireplace and skylights. Hidden by a pocket door, the third floor loft room is a perfect “away” space and offers access to the living ‘green roof”. Outside, there is parking for two cars and a third parking space is underway. With over 100’ of waterfrontage, all that the Essex River and beyond has to offer is at your doorstep. Move right in to start enjoying the coastal life in Essex!
