Listing broker remarks

Welcome to 4 Sherburne Way, an extraordinary waterfront estate on Buzzards Bay. The journey begins with a drive through the Little Harbor Golf Club, under a lush canopy of trees, signaling your arrival at a retreat that offers a level of privacy rarely found on the South Coast. Beyond the stone pillars and gated entry, a stunning shingle-style residence awaits, complete with access to a shared tennis court. Inside, the home’s character unfolds with a grand foyer and a graceful turned staircase. The craftsmanship throughout is exceptional; the rich woodwork and architectural detail feel more like a sophisticated Beacon Hill estate than a typical beach house. The heart of the home is a soaring great room anchored by a fireplace and a formal dining area, flowing seamlessly into a chef’s kitchen. Outfitted with a Viking stove, Sub-Zero refrigeration, and a massive center island, this space is designed for both entertaining and quiet mornings. A casual sitting room and a spacious home office flank the main living area, offering versatile spaces for work or relaxation. The primary suite is also located on the main level, featuring a private fireplace, an expansive walk-in closet, and a spa-like ensuite bathroom with a soaking tub, double vanity, and bidet. Exterior doors lead directly to a large, covered porch, where a dedicated seating area and gas fireplace offer a perfect vantage point for the grounds. The second level is equally impressive, hosting a lounge area and three additional ensuite bedrooms. This floor also includes a self-contained living suite—perfect for guests or extended stays—featuring its own kitchen, living area, and full bath. The home’s most iconic architectural feature is the "tower room," designed to resemble a lighthouse. A ladder leads to an elevated lookout, providing breathtaking, panoramic water views that capture the true essence of this estate. The third level adds even more versatility with an additional seating area, full bath, and a wet bar. The outdoor living space is a masterpiece of stonework and natural beauty. Relax by the plunge pool or follow the path down to your own private beach. Whether you are launching a kayak, paddleboarding, or simply enjoying a swim, this is a rare opportunity to own a private coastal compound in an unmatched setting. Come live in a community where the landscape is treated with such reverence, surrounded by neighbors who truly value the stewardship and preservation of the natural world.— Compass
