Features
- A, AC, Ins, Irr, OSh, Floor 1: Framed by sidelights and a transom window, the front door opens to a gracious entry foyer that flows effortlessly into the spacious living room, anchored by cathedral ceilings, a fireplace, custom built-ins, a wet bar, and French doors that open to the wrap-around deck. Generous windows throughout fill the home with natural light. To the left of the living room lies what is truly a suite unto itself. A handsome study with a fireplace and an abundance of custom built-ins anchors this wing — a space that functions beautifully as part of the primary suite, yet is equally well-suited as a completely independent room. Off the study is the primary bedroom, further appointed with two bathrooms; the first features a soaking tub, and the second en-suite bathroom features a custom shower with a door leading to the outdoor shower. The primary suite also offers a private side deck and a hot tub — creating a seamless indoor-outdoor experience. A private staircase connects the primary bedroom to the second floor. Back in the main living area, graceful round doorways lead into the sun-filled gourmet kitchen — truly the heart of the home. Bathed in natural light and thoughtfully appointed with generous counter space, two dishwashers, and a large granite center island with prep sink and seating, this kitchen is as functional as it is beautiful. The spacious adjoining dining area creates an ideal setting for everyday living and effortless entertaining alike, with French doors opening to the main deck that extends gracefully across the back of the home, connecting the living room to the primary suite. A second exterior door off the dining area provides direct access to the side deck, ideal for summer grilling. The adjacent laundry room features a second refrigerator and built-in storage. A hallway off the kitchen leads to a first-floor bedroom, a hall bathroom, an attached oversized two-car garage, and a second outdoor shower., Floor 2: The stairway leading to the second-floor landing opens to a sitting area that overlooks the living room below and sets a warm, connected tone. The second floor offers a bedroom with an en-suite bathroom, a hall bathroom, and a charming bedroom with a Juliet balcony with distant water views. A den/office provides flexible space for work or leisure. Above the garage, a spacious great room with a half bathroom offers endless possibilities — a playroom, gym, or a home office.
