Featured home: Solitude, sunsets on Prudence Island

Posted

Step back in time to when life was simple and peaceful. This home on Prudence Island is a getaway from the hustle and bustle of modern life, but with all the conmforts of updated living.

Enjoy breathtaking sunsets from this custom home built in 2002 for personal use by an architect lwho is no stranger to Prudence Island home design.

Set on a waterfront lot of more than 35,000 square feet, the Colonial home is shingled, adding to the traditional charm of old New England. The panoramic views of the West Passage are second to none form the porch.

Set higher than the shoreline, the views are spectacular, and stairs lead from the back lawn down to the coastline. You could spend hours combing the miles of shoreline looking for sea birds, shells or sea glass, all access right from the backyard.

The home is comfortable, but not overwhelmingly large at 1,960 square feet. The first floor has a rustic quality that is perfect for island living, with rich wood and lots of glass. The kitchen opens to the dining area and an adjacent living room, which opens to a large deck and porch.

The three bedrooms on the second floor are all good sizes, and the master bedroom includes an en suite bath. The attic is also finished, adding to the living space.

Prudence Island is a village of Portsmouth, and is a short ferry ride off the coast of Bristol. There is a charter school on the island, as well as a small museum. Prudence Island Lighthouse and Potter's Cove are popular spots local boaters frequent.

The home is available for the asking price of $555,000. For more information or to schedule a viewing, contact Sheila Clark-Lundy, with William Raveis Chapman Enstone, at 401-749-5503.
