Killybracken is one of the most splendid stone residences gracing the New England Coast. The primary estate was built in 1927 in the Arts and Crafts style of granite quarried in Gloucester.

Behind the granite is concrete reinforced with rebar said to be the first private residence built with rebar in the United States. The main residence is; 6,500 square feet with 14 rooms, 6 custom baths (two are half baths) and four working fireplaces. The estate effortlessly captures the warmth and elegance of the great homes of Europe while remaining graciously relaxed. Exceptional Old World refinements include softly burnished oak and pine woodwork, accents of polished brass, copper and leaded glass work, and decorative granite windowsills. Luxurious new granite baths abound, and are carefully integrated with the estate's period features. Every room enjoys unobstructed, spectacular ocean views.

First Floor:
An elegant Greene & Greene  inspired front door opens into a vaulted foyer (10'x10') and beyond, at the heart of this special home, beneath its vast hand-split cedar shake roof lies Killybracken's soaring , massively timbered Great Room (17'x35'). Paneled in waxed, furniture-finished original oak, this stunning space glows at night while during the day spectacular views through grand windows offer vast expanses of lawn, roses and the sea beyond.


The spacious Dining Room (15'x19') has its own fireplace and cleverly concealed storage behind waxed-pine panels. Two sets of leaded glass doors lead to the Great Room and beyond. A dazzling Sun Room (12'x20') with a curved wall that is ringed with windows has a coved ceiling and opens to a granite ocean-front terrace.


The kitchen (14'x17'), Butler's Pantry (8'x14'), Service Pantry (10'x11') and a Laundry/Mud Room are a sophisticated blend of pristine original cabinetry, Sub Zero refrigeration, Wolf gas range, grill, griddle, and salamander, cork flooring and yards of polished granite.

Another wing features a fine fire-placed library (18'x18') of waxed oak, copper and granite - a homage to the renowned Scottish architect Charles Rennie MacKintosh. Ocean views and an en suite, copper walled and granite half bath make this study a special retreat. Two high-ceilinged bedrooms (13'x14' & 12'x20'), both with en suite baths, and a long, wide hall connecting all complete this wing.


Second Floor:
A large private Master Suite (1,400 square feet) features a Sitting Area, fireplace, splendid granite bath (9'x12') with a stall shower and raised two-person whirlpool spa overlooking the grounds and ocean, and a generous (12'x18') dressing room with custom built-ins. Breathtaking ocean views sparkle from a host of large windows where two lighthouses can be seen in the distance. The master suite has a balcony that overlooks the Great Room.



Second Floor South:
A cozy "Tree House" built by the current owner is tucked into the roof line to be architecturally invisible but to provide substantial living area (600 square feet) that is comfortable in all seasons. The intimate, cozy apartment is truly apart from the activity of the Estate's main floor and provides sweeping bird's eye views of the grounds and seascape. This tastefully designed private aerie with expansive windows, includes a marble and tile bath, wet bar, numerous built-ins for secure storage, high tech fireplace, entertainment systems and Internet access. This area is accessed by both a traditional and secret stairway.
