Fixed in time, the Shore Colony at Buffalo Bay has been the treasured "happy place" for only a few lucky families. Developed in 1910 and sited on 12 acres overlooking a private half moon bay with a deep sandy beach and a small number of classic wood shingled homes offering space and privacy. 117 Buffalo Bay is a gracious, year round, direct waterfront with approximately 5000 s.f. of finished living space on three floors. The home has been lovingly maintained and updated by the same family for over 50 years. Blessed with sunrise and sunset views and Faulkner Island in the distance, the LR (26' x19') with a wood burning fireplace and the DR (20' x 15') have access to both a screened and a covered porch overlooking the Sound. The kitchen has recently been completely redone and will please any chef. On the second floor are 5 bedrooms and 3 baths. The primary bedroom (18' x23') with windows on three sides has a newly remodeled ensuite bath with 2 sinks, a tub and a shower in addition to extensive closet space and built-ins. The third floor will be the joy of young and old alike. In addition to a bunk room with a full bath, there's a living area, office & an art room. The elevation of the house substantially exceeds FEMA standards so no flood insurance is required. Association amenities include a tennis court. Madison with its restaurants, movie theater & bookstore, which seem a million miles away from this very special enclave, actually only a 7 minute drive. SF does not include all of the finished 3rd floor space. Professional photos to follow.
