There’s a glittering contemporary home perched on nearly two acres at 77 Fay Road in Woods Hole that stands apart from the traditional coastal architecture — in the most spectacular way.

Built in 2000, the seaside retreat sits right on Vineyard Sound and calls on elements of mid-century modern architecture — sloped ceilings, clerestory windows, walls of glass, and warm wood paneling.

Clean lines, design simplicity, and Shoji-like accents recall a Japanese sensibility. The result is a home that feels peaceful and serves as a natural extension of its surroundings. And yes, there are water views for days, plus a private beach and jetty for the ultimate summer headquarters.

A wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, modern corner fireplace, and tall ceilings make for a dramatic great room. Opening to both the elegant and functional kitchen space and a window-wrapped sunroom, this corner of the sprawling 6,780 square-foot home is naturally stylish and unfussy, just what you’d want in a beach house. Not that we wouldn’t live there year-round, there’s even a heated indoor pool!

Three guest suites and an expansive family room with wet bar complete the first floor. The second floor dazzles with another sun-filled family room and balcony overlooking the water. This is also where you’ll find the primary suite, a tranquil, private escape with a spa-worthy bath.

The property is on the market for $5,999,000. The sale is represented by Steven Strojny of Sotheby’s International Realty – Cape Cod – Falmouth Brokerage.
