The summer season is starting to heat up, but that doesn't mean it's too late for you to snap up your own beachside retreat. A low-key Martha's Vineyard estate with horizon views over the Atlantic has just hit the market for $12.4 million. Designed by the architect Mark Hutker and built by J.G. Early in 2017, the eight-bedroom, nine-bath Colonial-style respite sits on a high bluff at the end of a private road. The seller, Paul Massey, once ran for mayor of New York City against Bill de Blasio before dropping out prior to the election. Moira Lown and Melissa Dailey at Coldwell Banker Realty hold the listing. More from Robb Report This $7 Million L.A. Home by Famed Architect Paul R.

The great room's open layout also includes a breakfast nook with a small built-in banquette and a living room anchored by a river-rock fireplace. A wet bar to the side makes for easy entertaining, with gatherings spilling from the living room into the attached screened-in porch.

A private balcony and an outdoor shower complete the suite. There are seven other bedrooms that provide ample space for family or guests. The lower level is set up with a gym and a game room, while Adirondack chairs on the porches look out over a plush lawn and the ocean. There's no pool, but the members-only East Chop Beach Club is just down the street.

Modern elevated with dual living
This modern, dual living, elevated home has hit the market in a popular family-friendly suburb close to the beach, university, hospital and shops. Selling agent Chris Clarke of Real Estate Central said this freshly renovated home at 25 Mirrakma Cres, Lyons, was a modern twist on tropical elevated living. He said the property offered the best parts of an elevated home without the maintenance of an older house. Upstairs, the home has a spacious open plan living, dining and kitchen area with high ceilings, timber floors and banks of louvres. 'Concrete slab construction gives you a solid feel underfoot but also provides peace and quiet between the levels,' Mr Clarke said. The kitchen includes an island bench, stainless-steel appliances, neutral-coloured cabinetry and pendant lighting. The living spaces open through sliding doors to a balcony that overlooks the back yard, while the high gable ceilings of the living areas carry through to this covered outdoor entertaining space. The main bedroom has a walk-in robe and an ensuite with dual basins, and the room looks out over the front yard. The three remaining upstairs bedrooms have built-in robes, while the family bathroom has a bath and a double shower. On the ground level is a fully self-contained unit. 'Downstairs is not your typical under-house area,' Clarke said. '(It is) self-contained, with your own bedroom and bathroom, and a spacious living and kitchen area that matches upstairs dimensions. The separate feel is perfect for extended family visits or creating an additional income.' The downstairs kitchen has an island bench with breakfast bar, stainless-steel appliances and modern cabinetry. The home sits on a 793sq m block with established, low maintenance gardens and plenty of lawn space. Bamboo is planted down the side of the home, offering privacy from neighbours. The house has a double carport, electric shutter on the front windows, a fully-fenced back yard and plenty of room for a shed or pool. The property is within walking distance of local schools and parklands and close to the Casuarina coastline, Casuarina shopping centre, Leanyer Water Park, the hospital and CDU.
