Extremely rare blufftop contemporary on the market for the first time in 50 years. Very private and set above beautiful Dume Cove at the end of a long drive, this nearly one-acre garden property commands sweeping views of ocean, islands, and coastline. Mature trees, vast wraparound lawns, and manicured gardens offer an idyllic oceanfront setting for outdoor entertaining and recreation. The home's comfortable, open-concept interior features a triangular, double-height entry, high ceilings, gallery walls, large windows, and hardwood floors. In the ocean-view living/dining room, there is a wall of library bookshelves to the ceiling, a woodburning fireplace with a recessed wood-storage area below the tiled hearth, plus a built-in bench and corner reading area with full-height windows on two sides. In the dining area, additional windows and doors open to the backyard and a covered flagstone patio for al fresco dining and entertaining. Nearby, the kitchen has butcher-block countertops with corner windows facing onto the covered patio and ocean, plus a Wolf range and tiled wall and floor. The home's strong architectural lines carry upward to the second floor, with an angled wall of windows, another floor-to-ceiling bookcase, and the tranquil bedroom suite, with huge, sliding ocean-view windows on three sides. In addition to a two-car garage, the front of the property has a huge lawn with ample space for large gatherings. This wraps around to a flagstone patio at the side of the house and into the stunning, ocean-facing backyard, where a path leads to a bench for whale watching and star gazing, plus steps that lead down to the pristine white sands of Dume Cove. Quiet and private, this is truly a Point Dume gem.
