West Island Waterfront - 250-degree Water View

This 3-bedroom, 2.5-bath home occupies one of the most gorgeous spots on the entire South Coast. Sitting on an acre of waterfront property, at the end of a small lane, with 250-degree water views, this property overlooks sailboats, its own private beach, Bella Vista Island, the coast of Mattapoisett, Falmouth, and the Elizabethan Islands. Watch herons, egrets, king fishers, clam diggers, sailboats, salt marsh, and gorgeous sunsets. This is truly the most tranquil and varied view in the area.

This home is an elevated cape, built in the 1970's to withstand hurricanes. It offers 3,010 square feet of living space with another 2000 square feet of wrap-around decks. At the ground level is a 4-car garage/ basement area with 2 automatic doors. There are water views from every room, every window, and every deck.

The first floor has an open floor plan that is built around a central fireplace. It has a first floor master bedroom with an attached bath, an office, a laundry room, another half bath, a foyer, a kitchen with granite countertops and stainless steel appliances, a dining area, a living room with fireplace and a den area. The living room, dining area and den all have sliders opening out to decks that overlook the water. There is no door or window in the house that does not have a gorgeous water view.

The second floor has two large bedrooms, one that has a balcony overlooking the bay, a sitting room with another balcony, and a second full-bath. There is much storage space and plenty of closets in the home. The ground floor garage/ basement alone is 1800 square feet.

This home is served by town water and sewer. It also has central air-conditioning, central vacuum, nine sets of sliding glass doors, 2 balconies, and 200 square feet of deck. It is 200 feet from the region's best clamming area. Fully half of West Island can never be developed due to the West Island State Park and the beautiful Fairhaven town beach.

The mix of deep green salt marsh, white herons, cobalt blue water, and brightly colored sailboats, makes this the most serene and protected waterfront location. Moorings are available in front of house (check with town harbormaster).
