Property Facts
"Wits End", overlooking the Atlantic and white sand beaches in Madequecham, was originally built in the 1950s as a family's oceanfront getaway from the hustle and bustle of the island's town. After three generations of ownership, the property was purchased by the current owners, who, over several decades, lovingly and with attention to detail, transformed the original cottage into a home of quiet luxury while embracing the original vibe of a summer oasis, with swimming, beachcombing, surfing, hiking, and fishing all located out the front door. More than ever, this home embraces the original sense of oceanfront retreat. The property is exceptionally well-maintained and is being offered furnished, less artwork and personal items.
First Floor: The ocean-facing living room boasts cathedral ceilings with loft spaces and is adorned with a striking custom light fixture, a wood-burning fireplace, and a blend of fir paneling and open stud walls. The adjacent kitchen is well-equipped and has custom wormy chestnut cabinetry, lava stone countertops, and high-quality appliances. A side entry features a powder room, a large full bath, and a laundry area. Off the living room, you'll find the spacious primary bedroom, complete with a quiet office space featuring built-in desks for two. This newer addition is elegantly finished in pecky cypress with a light fixture created by a Japanese kitemaker. The guest bedroom offers stunning ocean views. The game room, accessible via the surrounding decks, is currently used as guest overflow space and has a half bath. All interior spaces open onto extensive mahogany decks that provide generous outdoor living areas, including a cozy ocean-facing fire table that serves as an evening gathering spot.
