This home is just four houses from the open bay, so you're never far from adventure.

The gourmet chef's kitchen features premium appliances, including a trash compactor and ice machine, custom rich wood cabinetry, an oversized island, and seamless flow into the dining and great room—ideal for entertaining. Also on the first floor, you'll find a powder room and a flex room – originally designed as a master suite with a full bath and double closets, it could also serve as an office, playroom or den. Upstairs, the “East Wing” features a huge movie room with a wet bar and sliders to the deck, and the extraordinary primary suite with walk-in closet, multi-tiered cathedral ceilings, balcony access, and luxurious bath. Also, the highly functional laundry room and a full bath just outside the movie room. Head over to the “West Wing” to find a guest room (currently being used as an office), and another spacious ensuite bedroom. Up on the 3rd floor, a gorgeous retreat – the fifth ensuite bedroom and bath with balcony. The views from this level are truly spectacular. You'll also enjoy a large loft area on this level – perfect for a playroom, rec room, etc, with a wet bar, another full bath, and additional unfinished storage space. You already love the interior, so let's talk about the mechanicals. The four stop elevator services all floors, from the garage to the third level. The 3-zone HVAC system and the exterior siding are approximately 4 years old. There are handcrafted, weathered copper finishes on the exterior, including downspouts, chimney cap, and windows, adding to the coastal character. Vinyl balustrade railings secure all the balconies and railings. A spacious 26' wide epoxy floored garage provides room for vehicles, boating equipment, and paddleboards. Window candles are all controlled by a single switch in the garage for quick convenience. Outdoor living is where this home truly shines with an expansive waterfront composite deck for sunset entertaining, a covered lounge area for shaded relaxation and dining, a built-in grill for cooking up the day's catch, and plenty of room for a pool or hot tub. For the discerning boat owner seeking luxury, convenience, and seamless access to the bay, this exceptional waterfront home delivers the lifestyle you've earned. This home is being sold mostly unfurnished, except for the movie room furnishings, which will remain.
