Kafalka View – What does a luxury Oceanfront home have in common with an aperitif?
Kafalka is one of those words that defines itself. Like Chartreuse (the color is named after the aperitif and not the other way around), Kafalka seems like a good name for a color or an Atlantic sea fish. But any definition hearkens back to Kafalka View, the spectacular waterfront oasis in Portsmouth.
The New Hampshire MLS listing says: “This home lacks nothing. It has every amenity imaginable,” but let’s take a closer look, room by room. No, let’s start outdoors…
As the crow flies, the view of this property reveals privacy (despite its convenience to downtown Portsmouth) and proximity to the Sagamore and the ocean, 234 feet of water frontage, in fact. Let’s get a little closer.
The cabana has a chef’s kitchen, there’s a hot tub and a saltwater pool. The landscaping features a dramatic nightscape created by over 137 lights.
The kitchen should be the center of any home, especially of one designed so perfectly for entertaining. Kafalka View has two: one in the house, one in the cabana.
The main kitchen features cherry cabinets, granite counters, sub zero drink drawers, refrigerator and freezer drawer, Fisher Paykel dishwasher drawers, DCS gas range, hood, and two DCS ovens. The main kitchen opens onto the great room and floor to ceiling stone fireplace.
The cabana kitchen has 53-inch grill, twin burners, warming drawer, subzero easy frig, subzero wine frig and icemaker. As you can see, the cabana kitchen opens onto the pool.
If we keep going in this wonderful vein of food and entertaining, our Kafalka View tour takes us into the formal dining room, bar and smoking lounge.
Getting tired? Maybe it’s time for a bath or time to read by the fireplace or even retire to bed…check these out in the listing details.
Kafalka View is the kind of luxury estate that creates its own adjective, like Chartreuse and like a Waldorf Salad. I can see it now, “This property features a Kafalka View pool and kitchen” and “Let’s relax in the Kafalka View smoking lounge.”
