About 9 Northern Point Road, Bristol
This Northern Point residence is situated in Round Pond. It is a striking example of new construction built in classic New England style with simple lines and familiar finishes executed in unique ways. The building is perched on a rolling field, a picturesque piece of land that was one of the last developable parcels on the harbor. The siting of the house allows distant views of it as one travels toward it along Northern Point Road from the village center. The first glimpse of the house is across a field looking east. The harbor and Louds Island beyond are an exquisite backdrop as you orbit the house on the approach. The house is nestled in a slight hollow that makes it seem modest and allows it to fit in with the historic structures it neighbors. At final approach, one descends the driveway to a courtyard parking area that mimics the courtyard of an old English manor. The space is bound by the carriage house and a dramatic colonnade on one side and by the field and stone-mending wall on the other side. They are organized in a procession that leads to the main facade and covered porch as a final destination, at which point a pair of eight-foot-tall mahogany doors allow entry into the interior. The layout is that of an open-concept room, with vaulted ceilings and an extensive assortment of windows and gliding doors that flood the space with light. An expansive outside deck in the middle connects the parts together and capitalizes on the gorgeous setting along the water.
While architecturally a gorgeous home, beauty is more than skin deep here. This is a “smart home” in every sense of the word from its state of the art Lutron lighting system that is all LED, programmable and can be controlled remotely from your phone to the latest security system with cameras in multiple locations.
