Watermark

Elegant and secluded, Watermark is exquisite and comfortable. The house, designed by the nationally-known firm of Albert, Righter & Tittmann Architects, Inc., stands quietly in a grove of old growth pines by a salt-water cove. The grounds, created by renowned landscape architect Patrick Chassé, include expansive native plantings and a lush walled meditation garden. Large decks overlook the quiet gardens and serene woodlands. Inside, the stately living room has French doors giving toward the water, a large granite fireplace, tall built-in bookcases modeled on an English library, and clerestory windows. The interior design touches of distinction and warmth were created by the late Nancy Pierrepont. The year-round residence has four en suite bedrooms and a writer's tower. The over five-acre property also includes a guest-room apartment over the two-car garage.
