Panoramic Views in Pocomo
PROPERTY PROFILE Coffin 'Sconset Real Estate $9,500,000
Ahouse nearing completion out near the end of Pocomo Point beckons the buyer who appreciates quality construction, great attention to detail and a water view from every upstairs room. 82 Pocomo Road already has unusual character and warmth, even though construction paper covers the newly finished, reclaimed oak floors and workers are still putting the final touches on the built-ins and the paint work.

Driving up the semi-circular driveway, soon to be covered with white, crushed shells, the unusual detail of the exterior trim gives an early indication of the care and imagination that has gone into the making of this house.

The two-story entrance foyer, graced by an inlaid design in the floor depicting the island and its three lighthouses and by a wrap-around railing on the upper level, leads through to the family room which beckons with the light from six windows and a pair of French doors leading to the deck and pool area on the opposite wall. The fireplace, with built-in cabinets around it at one end and a full wall of bookcases at the other end, frame the room and give it definition as a friendly and comfortable gathering place.

To the left is a passageway to two bedrooms. One might be termed the downstairs master bedroom, with its own fireplace, bath with double sinks and spacious shower and lots of closet space. The other bedroom also has its own bathroom and French doors which lead to the partial wrap-around deck at the rear.

On the other side of the family room is the office or den, with its own full bath, another bedroom and bath, the spacious laundry room and the mudroom off the rear entrance. It is from the back hallway that stairs lead to the basement and also, as an alternative to the grand stairway in the front foyer, another set of stairs goes to the upper level. In addition a full elevator enhances access to both the upper floor and to the basement

The second floor is the principal living space in the house, with spectacular views spreading from Medouie Creek and Polpis Harbor, to down harbor towards Shimmo and Monomoy, along Coatue, to Great Point and the Atlantic Ocean, and finally to the upper harbor and even around to the newly relocated Sankaty light. Climbing the front stairs, the visitor is struck by the originality of the ceiling design which takes full advantage of what, in most houses, is hidden behind a flat ceiling and called an attic.

The center part of the upstairs great room features, at one end, a fieldstone-lined fireplace in muted brown limestone. At the other end the kitchen, defined by a wrap-around breakfast bar, is a model of efficient work space. The black honed granite counter top and antiqued white cabinets are impressive without being overwhelming. The appliances, including a Wolf six burner-plus-griddle stove and Sub- Zero refrigerator, are top-of-the line.

Next to the kitchen, outlined by the foyer rail, is the dining area. The comparable space at the other end of the room would serve as a great conversation area or a getaway nook for reading. There is an outside deck on either side of the great room, with the one on the back of the house having an outdoor circular stairway to the deck below and the pool area. The one in the front has built-in seating for taking in the panorama.

The master bedroom, also with a fireplace and beamed ceiling, has a great view which encompasses Great Point lighthouse, large hisand hers closets and a huge bathroom with separate sinks, a soaking tub and a shower area big enough for at least two. At the other end of the house is the primary guest room, which also has wonderful views, and, in the bathroom, a soaking tub and an even better, larger, enclosed shower area decorated with a tile frieze. (The tile work throughout the house adds to its warmth and originality.)

The basement has a wine cellar big enough to hold a café table and chairs, which is to be decorated to look like a French café, front awning and all. The game room has a wet bar unusually well set-up to stock refreshments, utensils and glassware. There is a 16-seat, stepped, home theater wired for surround sound. The fitness center includes a large stateof the-art gym - which, unusual for basement gyms, is bathed in natural light from high windows - a sauna for six and a massage room, together with a full bath.

The living space is completed outdoors by a large swimming pool and hot tub, accented by a bluestone deck, as well as a pool house, with changing room and bath separated by a pergola which will arch over a brick barbeque pit. For those who want a salt water experience, the house comes with deeded beach access.

The price of the home includes a yet-to-bebuilt two bedroom cottage and two-car garage for which the needed approvals are in place.

This very special five bedroom, six full and two half bath, new home in a very desirable location, with great views, is offered for
