You said it HAD to be perfect. That you were NOT going to compromise. Good news! THIS is the one you've been waiting for, and it’s not every day that a home like this comes along. Perfectly positioned on a peaceful peninsula where the West River meets South Creek, this elegant retreat offers panoramic water views from every single room. No, really! EVERY. SINGLE. ROOM. From the moment you step inside, you’ll understand what we mean when we say: breathtaking. Whether you're hosting lively gatherings, quiet evenings with close friends, or simply soaking in the serenity with a cup of coffee, this home is designed to be enjoyed. Start your mornings with the sunrise glistening over the water, right from your kitchen window. In the evenings, unwind in the glass-enclosed sunroom and watch the sun dip below the horizon—it's a front-row seat to nature’s nightly masterpiece. Upstairs, you’ll find a generous 1,000-square-foot space ready for whatever your lifestyle needs—an artist’s loft, private guest quarters, au pair suite, retreat for your college student, or even an income-producing Airbnb. The possibilities are as expansive as the views. If you've been searching for the rare blend of tranquility, luxury, and versatility in a waterfront home, this one checks EVERY box. If you were waiting for the PERFECT one with NO compromising, this is it.
