Descrizione

Located in Pembroke's private Shaw Wood enclave with its upscale combination of International and Bermudian-category homes, Greylock offers a family-friendly single-level design, beautiful water views, boat-able waterfront with a large deepwater dock and mooring on a protected cove, a small cove-side beach, deeded access to a larger sandy beach shared with two neighbouring homes, a simply fantastic swimming pool, and a generous poolside guest cottage. Greylock was last renovated in 1985 with a clean-lined, modern-leaning aesthetic. It's time for another update, but this is a quality home at its core and the existing floor plan continues to make timeless good sense. High ceilings, solid birch floors, illuminated art niches, large windows with cove and harbour views , and abundant natural light characterise most rooms. From the entrance foyer with its wide cedar front door, the sizeable living room enjoys elevated water vistas to Two Rock Passage and a wood-burning fireplace with cedar mantel. The adjoining dining room opens from a full wall of sliding glass to a covered water-view terrace, while the library/den provides an intimate, quiet retreat. The kitchen and breakfast room present in excellent condition with quality white cabinetry and terra cotta tile floor. Off the kitchen entrance hall is the laundry, WC , and a utility room formerly serving as a dark room. One aspect that makes this such a comfortable family home is the fact that the master bedroom suite, three additional bedrooms, and two additional bathrooms are all located together in the west wing. Yet there is also the flexibility to provide older children or guests with privacy and their own entrance as the east wing includes a lounge, two additional bedrooms -- or 'his & her' offices -- and a full bathroom. The Bermuda architectural firm of Cooper & Gardener designed the original swimming pool at Greylock, and a fine job they did. Adults and children of all ages love the pool's unique underwater stairs that run the pool's full 40' length. The pool cottage adds convenience to outdoor entertaining and offers generous guest accommodation with a spacious bed/sitting room with a complete kitchen, and a bathroom with shower plus laundry. The home's accommodation is completed by a separate lower-level office or workshop, an internal access garage, and a carport. But that's just the beginning of Greylock's appeal. The deepwater dock on Boss's Cove measures 35'7" x 16'6 with two sets of stairs for water access, a buttery storage building, electricity and water supply, plus access to a mooring. The cove can also be accessed from the grassy lawn with stairs leading to a sandy beach at lower tides. A special feature is Greylock's deeded right-of- way across privately owned land to a larger sandy beach, shared with just two other neighbouring properties. Because of its location in Shaw Wood, Greylock also benefits from access to the common Shaw Wood dock on Boss's Cove and common access to a turquoise bay for sea swimming. The City of Hamilton and private schools are within an eight-minute drive; and a grocery store, two national parks, a boat club, and public bus transportation are within walking distance.
