Overview
The grand family residence at 38 Surfsong Road lies directly on the Atlantic Ocean, separated from the soft sands of the beach and the soothing sounds of the waves only by the graceful flow of sand dunes.
In the front, this beautifully landscaped residence charms with pale shingle siding accented by round porch columns and gracefully curving dormer windows. From the rear, it is awe-inspiring. Three stories of balconies overlook the sea, flanked by two round turrets with wraparound windows. A brilliant blue pool invites private relaxation just steps down from a columned terrace, while a spa and wide, private deck rise beside its waters.
Inside, a curving staircase with a graceful wrought-iron rail rises to an overlook above. The ocean is visible directly from the front door through two white columns flanking the entrance to a first-floor living room with a slate-tiled floor and a gorgeous entertainment wall of white cabinetry.
Ascend the staircase or take the home’s elevator to the second floor to find a spacious great room with even more spectacular views of the blue ocean waters through floor-to-ceiling windows. A high, pale coffered ceiling, rich wooden cabinetry, and paneling enhance the room’s aspect, and a fireplace is placed along a slanted accent wall.
Wide, curving cased openings open to one side, framing a generous kitchen with granite countertops, gorgeous cherry-wood cabinetry above, and antiqued cabinetry below. An arched window over the sink features ocean views, a center island offers a gas cooktop in addition to the kitchen’s corner wall ovens, and a wide breakfast bar invites guests to linger as the chef prepares the meal.
The dining room, placed in the second story of the eastern turret, is spectacular with wrap-around floor-to-ceiling windows, thick white moulding, and a light hardwood floor. To the opposite side of the great room, in the western turret, French doors lead to a sitting room reminiscent of a sunroom, equally spectacular in its views of the Atlantic Ocean spreading to the horizon. In both, a glass door opens to the second-story balcony with its sights and sounds of the surf and curving iron rail.
The primary suite also opens off the light-filled sitting room. Here, a fireplace set into a richly paneled wall welcomes owners to their private sanctuary. In the bath are his-and-hers vanities and a large Jacuzzi bathtub set below wide, sunlit windows.
Additional delights on this floor include a separate butler’s pantry with a tall wine cooler and a summer kitchen with a large built-in grill, sink, and patio seating overlooking the views.
A private stair tucked beside the primary staircase quietly invites the family and their most cherished guests to ascend to the residence’s third story. Here, filled with natural light from beautifully paned windows on all sides, lies a family room with a wide fireplace and set of glass doors leading to the third-story balcony, where vast ocean views take the breath away.
Guests will enjoy the first-floor rear bedroom suites with their own glass doors inviting in sea breezes and leading to the covered terrace with its rich wooden ceiling. To the front of the home lies a third guest suite, and a children’s suite with a loft feel supplies a window seat and built-in captain’s beds.
Additional features of this six-thousand-plus-square foot home beautifully set along Surfsong Road and conveniently located at mid-Island near the Jack Nicklaus-designed Turtle Point golf course, one of the longest and most challenging courses on the Island, are private side-entry garages and an immediately adjacent boardwalk leading through sand dunes to the wide, pristine beach and waves.
