If you're in the market for a waterfront home on the North Shore, expect to pay top dollar. But if $2.5 million is more than you can afford, you can still get a glimpse of luxury beginning next month at a new Swampscott condominium with sweeping views of the water and the Boston skyline for a good cause.
For $25, you can tour the fully furnished home from Sept. 12 to Oct. 7 to benefit Boston Children's Hospital.
The 3-bedroom condo is one of four units for sale at The Concordia, which used to be three buildings that encompassed Cap'n Jack's Inn before longtime business associates Barry Turkanis and Bruce Paradise converted it into 14 condominiums.
"We tried to build it in the flair of a small, oceanfront town," Turkanis said.
What emerged was a home incorporating classic seaside architectural elements with the amenities of a modern residence.
"When we began the project, the developers said they were looking for classic, traditional design, so I started with wall coverings in colors that would reflect the ocean," said design coordinator Jerry Rippetoe of TJ's in Cape Neddick, Maine. "From there, everything just fell into place."
As you enter the first-floor unit, a chandelier from Lucia Lighting hangs overhead in the hallway. To the left are combined living and dining areas with a gas fireplace along one wall and a built-in, flat-screen TV discreetly hidden in cabinet space along another.
The living area also has a balcony with a piped-in gas hookup to accommodate a gas grill to cook up food from the full chef's kitchen, which features green tile walls and marble countertops, bone-colored cabinets, two built-in ovens, a stainless steel gas range and a hidden fridge with custom panels on the front.
The master bedroom comes with emerald-colored damask wallpaper, custom window treatments, a built-in reading nook overlooking the water and his-and-her bathrooms and walk-in closets.
"This is a marriage saver," interior designer and blogger Megan Meyers announced when she saw the bathrooms and closets on a tour of the condominium Thursday. "I don't think I would want to kill my husband as much."
Back at the front door, turn right, and a hallway leads to a small half-bath and a room with a washer, dryer and sink; a study; a media room; a small second bedroom with a trundle bed; a larger guest bedroom; and two more bathrooms.
Although the furnishings are only for show, the unit does come with two, custom-cut Landry and Arcari rugs.
Touring the condominium offers "an opportunity for people to enjoy a beautiful house, but at the same time support Boston Children's Hospital," which last year had more than 10,000 patient visits from the North Shore, said Michael Bornhorst, the hospital's director of corporate initiatives.
Proceeds will go to the hospital's Children's Fund, which helps the areas of greatest need, such as patient care, research and education.
