Looking for a summer home . . . you can live in year round? This 3-bed/2-bath heated Contemporary offers it all. Located on Planting Island, it's part of a private, self-contained penisula, connected by a causeway, that offers a great starter home or a pied-a-terre for those who live on their boat. From Boston, you zip down 495 to 195, avoiding Cape bridges and leaving traffic and stress behind to enjoy water views and sea breezes. This home offers an elegant, relaxed base for outdoor fun: an open floor plan connects the kitchen/DR/LR with the deck and patio for easy entertaining. Yet it's weather-sheltered w/ a full dry basement. The Planting Island Association provides a community dock for tying up a rubber dinghy, a kayak right-of-way, as well as access to a private beach--making sailing, swimming, or gathering shellfish all part of a summer's day. Whether you want to fish, swim, golf, or visit kids at Tabor Academy, you've arrived home.That's why people stay here for generations.
