About 56 Rip Van Winkle Way
This landmark home sits proudly on a private peninsula overlooking Buttermilk Bay with 485 feet of water frontage. The thoughtful design affords virtually 360 degree views of the Bay, which can be enjoyed from every room as well as the patios and courtyards with mature garden plantings. This Spanish Colonial style villa has great space for entertaining while maintaining a comfortable Cape Cod charm. The home was completely renovated in 2012 in a way that retains the architectural integrity of the style. Walking through the front door you're greeted with views of the Bay, which expand as you walk through. The main living space smartly brings the outside in, and the kitchen has beautiful countertops and backsplash custom designed for the home. The original house has first floor living with three bedrooms including the primary with a comfortable layout. The addition has a formal living room and two large bedrooms which are positioned towards the sunset.
