Perched on a generous lot with space for a future carriage house, this home offers uninterrupted ocean views stretching from the south end of Hunting Island to the endless horizon beyond. Whether you're sipping morning coffee on one of the many porches or unwinding with a glass of wine as the waves roll in, you'll never tire of the ever-changing seascape. A grand double staircase welcomes you onto the expansive front porch, setting the stage for the elegance inside. Step through the foyer into a light-filled great room, where a thoughtfully designed open-concept layout connects you seamlessly to the chef's kitchen and dining area. High-end finishes and meticulous craftsmanship define every space,10-foot ceilings on the first floor, 9-foot ceilings above, exquisite crown molding, and gorgeous wide-plank luxury hardwood flooring throughout. The kitchen is a dream for culinary enthusiasts, featuring a Wolf propane gas range, dual Wolf convection ovens, a Sub-Zero refrigerator/freezer, and even a built-in Sub-Zero wine cooler. A massive walk-in pantry, spacious laundry room, and a tucked-away office space add practicality to this beautifully designed home. A generously sized guest suite on the main floor serves as a private retreat, complete with its own luxurious bathroom and direct access to the front porch perfect for visitors who will never want to leave. Upstairs, the master suite is a sanctuary, with a private oceanfront porch, a large walk-in closet with a convenient stackable washer/dryer, and a spa-like ensuite bath. Two additional guest bedrooms provide comfort and style, while a whimsical bunk room with a sliding barn door creates a magical space for children to dream and play. Convenience is at the heart of this home, with an elevator that services all floors, making trips from the garage to the kitchen effortless. The lower level features an oversized two-car garage (with room for additional parking), a separate golf cart bay, a twin-shower changing area for post-beach refreshment, and ample storage. A whole-house generator ensures peace of mind, keeping essential systems running smoothly during any island storm. Every detail of 497 Porpoise Drive has been carefully curated for relaxed coastal living, beautiful landscaping, a spacious driveway, and an energy-efficient design that keeps comfort and sustainability in perfect balance. This is more than a home; it's a place where memories are made, where the rhythm of the waves sets the pace of life, and where every day feels like a vacation. Come experience the serenity of Fripp Island. This extraordinary oceanfront retreat is waiting for you.
