Description

With a water view like this the architect of this beautiful home deliberately set up the interior to make way for what is beyond its doors. With the incorporation of stylish lines & thoughtful design the owner constructed doors & walls of glass that disappear into the fabric of the home clearing the way for 24-7 endless water views. Close attention to this detail created an open floor plan without obstruction while yielding to an interior of privacy, warmth & comfort. 24 Wakefield is a magical merge...With a water view like this the architect of this beautiful home deliberately set up the interior to make way for what is beyond its doors. With the incorporation of stylish lines & thoughtful design the owner constructed doors & walls of glass that disappear into the fabric of the home clearing the way for 24-7 endless water views. Close attention to this detail created an open floor plan without obstruction while yielding to an interior of privacy, warmth & comfort. 24 Wakefield is a magical merge of both worlds. There are so many separate entities of this home, a separate media room & an upstairs gym are just two of the amenities that begin to make this home irresistible. The kitchen is so sleek & modern but so simple and inviting. The upper level is a symphony of harmony. Water views, hardwood floors, high ceilings, spaciousness & resort like bathroom suites are just some of the high notes. On any given day you are encouraged to just throw the French doors wide open & expand your livable space beyond its walls. One step out onto the grounds & you quickly realize why this property is unparalleled on the Branford shoreline. Everything about this location is so beautiful, it is very easy to fashion a way of living here. The value of this home reaches a crescendo as the waves crash on the shore as you sleep waterside in your private one room villa. With nearly 5,000sq.ft. of living space & .70 acres you are treated to 35,000sq.ft. of remarkable seamless indoor-outdoor living.
