Set within the highly sought-after Tucker’s Cove community, this shingle-style Cape offers an exceptional blend of refined craftsmanship, direct views of Sagamore Creek, and quiet privacy. Sweeping tidal vistas unfold throughout the home, creating a sense of calm that feels both immediate and enduring. Honed Brazilian cherry floors on the main level and front staircase lend warmth and timeless sophistication, while expansive windows invite natural light and frame ever-changing scenery. Designed for both elegance and everyday comfort, the living and dining spaces are anchored by a stone gas fireplace, providing a welcoming backdrop for everyday moments and relaxed entertaining. Thoughtfully appointed, the chef’s kitchen features high-end appliances, an expansive island, and a generous pantry—inviting creativity while balancing beauty and function with ease. Conveniently located on the first floor, the primary suite serves as a serene, spa-inspired retreat with a sense of separation and privacy. Four additional bedrooms, including a second suite, offer flexible accommodations for family and guests, allowing the home to adapt gracefully to a variety of lifestyles. A three-season sunroom extends the living space outdoors, opening to multi-tiered terraces well suited for al fresco dining, relaxed gatherings, or quiet mornings overlooking the surroundings. Outdoors, meticulously maintained grounds and mature landscaping enhance privacy, while fire pits invite lingering evenings beneath starlit skies. Direct access to Sagamore Creek allows for kayaking or paddle boarding, offering a peaceful connection to the water. An added benefit is access to the Urban Forestry Center, where wooded trails and water views further enrich the connection to the natural surroundings. Located just minutes from world-class golf, marinas, beaches, and the vibrant city of Portsmouth, this residence offers a lifestyle defined by privacy, elegance, and the enduring appeal of waterfront living.
