4  South Vine Lane

So tranquil, so private, so remote in feeling – yet hardly remote at all: This handsome five-bedroom Cape with the deep plantation porch rests on a captivating landscape just a mile from Alley’s Store. The current owners have lovingly coaxed an already tasteful 1993 home up to 21st Century standards. High-quality hard surfaces abound: Limestone floors and glass tile shower accents in all four remodeled bathrooms. Porcelain floors, a farmer’s sink and Montclair Danby marble counters in the kitchen, not counting the one counter hewn from an American elm that succumbed to an island storm. A lofty and bright sunroom addition off the living room is undoubtedly the go-to family hangout. Completing the first floor is a convenient bedroom and full bath plus a laundry/mudroom corridor with oversized ceramic floor tiles. On the second level: Here’s your spacious master bedroom with en suite bath, featuring a luxurious ultra-deep tub and a custom sink cabinet imagined by island artisan Laura Silber from reclaimed wood. Two additional bedrooms share a bath. Over the attached garage, the bright and oh-so private fifth bedroom, with en suite bath, is accessed via a separate staircase. Perfect for the in-laws or the noisy teens. Have we saved the best for last? Step outside to your plein air wonderland, crafted by a leading island landscape designer. The parcel lives larger than its 1.4 level acres, smartly defined by stone walls, wood fencing, a circular crushed shell driveway, mature perennial beds, shady oaks and evergreens. An infinity hot tub cascades into a crescent-shaped swimming pool providing soothing waterfall background sounds. And there is room on the grounds to spare -- for a kitchen garden, a soccer game, a she-shed or perhaps your detached home office. When the office work is done, indulge in an easy meander to the nearby Land Bank trail along Sepiessa Point. Or just take a dip in your pool.
