13 highwood lane

Set behind the privacy of a gated community called The Woods at Duck Harbor, and set on 5.37 wooded acres, this stately 4-bedroom, 2.5 bath colonial commands attention from the moment you turn onto the paved drive. A natural stream traces the edge of the property, a living boundary that marks this land as something genuinely apart.Inside, the main level opens with a well-considered floor plan anchored by a high-end kitchen with breakfast nook, a large living room with floor-to-ceiling stone faced fireplace and vaulted ceilings, a formal dining room, and a primary suite offering a clawfoot tub, walk-in shower, and true sanctuary. A whole-house generator ensures the comforts of home are never interrupted, and a 2-car attached garage keeps your vehicles protected from elements and warm in the winter. The lower level delivers an expansive family room, space for a home gym, generous entertaining storage, and a large unfinished space for future expansion or plenty of storage. Two guest bedrooms and a full bath occupy the upper level.Outside, a screened-in porch, fire pit patio, and front and rear decks extend the living space into the landscape. And beyond the tree line: a private boat slip on Duck Harbor Pond, a motorboat-friendly lake where this kind of access is rare and genuinely irreplaceable.Gated seclusion. Five private acres. A stream-bordered setting. An included boat slip that is entirely your own.Some properties offer a place to live. This one offers a way of living!
