Audio Property Tour of 1700 Boathouse Rd for Visually Impaired Buyers.

Exterior and Entry

The home is a single-story Craftsman-style residence. The exterior features a mix of textures: the lower half is a distressed red and white "slurried" brick, while the upper gables are finished in olive-green horizontal siding and cedar-shake shingles. A wide front porch with thick wood pillars leads to a black solid-wood front door with a small six-pane window at the top.

Upon entering, you are in a wide central hallway with light-oak hardwood floors that extend throughout the main living areas. The walls are a soft, neutral grey-beige, accented by thick, white-painted baseboards and door casings.

Great Room and Dining Area

The hallway opens into an expansive, open-concept great room characterized by a vaulted ceiling crossed by three decorative natural wood beams.

The Focal Point: A floor-to-ceiling fireplace sits on the left wall, finished in stacked, multi-tonal grey stones. It features a heavy wood mantel that matches the ceiling beams.

The Dining Nook: To the left of the living area, the walls feature white wainscoting (decorative wood paneling) that reaches roughly four feet high. A large sliding glass door here provides a view and access to the side patio.

Windows: Two large vertical windows flank the back wall, allowing significant natural light to flood the hardwood floors.

Kitchen

The kitchen is situated at the back of the open plan and is designed with a modern-traditional aesthetic.

Cabinetry: Custom, shaker-style cabinets in a warm grey-taupe reach all the way to the ceiling. Several upper cabinet doors feature glass inserts with "X" mullions.

Countertops and Backsplash: Polished white marble with subtle grey veining covers the counters and extends up the wall behind the stove as a full-height backsplash.

Island: A large rectangular center island serves as the primary workspace, featuring a white countertop and a deep undermount sink with a high-arc silver faucet.

Fixtures: Two black industrial-style pendant lights with clear glass shades hang over the island.

Office and Primary Suite

Located near the front of the house is a dedicated office. Entry is through white-trimmed French doors with ten glass panes each. The room features a tall vaulted ceiling and two large windows with built-in woven wood shades.

The primary bedroom and bathroom continue the home’s airy theme:
Bedroom: The room is spacious with high ceilings finished with white crown molding. The floor transitions to a soft, light-grey carpet.

Ensuite Bathroom: This space features grey wood-look tile flooring. There are two separate white vanities with dark granite or quartz tops. The walk-in shower is enclosed in glass and finished with large-format white marble tiles that match the kitchen's aesthetic.

Closet: A large walk-in closet is located off the bathroom, featuring wall-to-wall white shelving and double-row hanging rods.

Structural Details

Throughout the home, the transitions between rooms are wide and open, often marked by thick white headers rather than standard doors, maintaining a sense of flow and accessibility. All hardware, including door handles and faucets, is finished in a consistent brushed nickel or silver tone.
