View video slide show
Designed to look like it was built 100 years ago and nestled among coastal oaks, the house was built in the "low country" tradition with the main living space on the 2nd floor to maximize the impact of waterfront views. From the minute you walk up the graceful, split brick staircase to the mahogany and stained glass front doors, you know you are about to experience something special. A local artist was commissioned to create the stained glass doors and the front porch is of the old-fashioned kind complete with rocking chairs. Walk into the house and be prepared to have your breath taken away by the views. It feels like you are on a great ship with unobstructed views of the clear tourquoise waters beyond. The ceilings in the main living area are clear cypress. The floors and staircase are Brazilian Chestnut. The huge fireplace is framed by a custom limestone mantel and surround. The beautiful gourmet kitchen features every convenience the creative chef demands. There is informal dining at a huge granite bar as well as a formal dining room which seats 12 comfortably. Every level of this 3 story home has deep porches. The 2nd floor deck features a stainless rail system which allows for unobstructed views along with an outdoor kitchen with stainless grill, hood and sink set into a Travertine bar. There is also plenty of room for an informal eating space on this level overlooking the pool and Intracoastal. The master bedroom retreat is also on the 2nd level and is very private and roomy and is completed with a his and hers bathroom boasting 2 walk-in closets, 2 water closets, huge walk-in shower with custom tile and stone mosaic, jacuzzi-style garden tub and 2 separate vanities and dressing areas. On the first floor, there is a ground level entry with a carved "dolphin" newel post, very large guest suite and private bath along with a huge laundry and sewing room. This level opens onto a covered lanai, pool and spa. The pool deck is Travertine pavers and there is an enclosed outdoor shower with hot & cold water. Take the elevator to the third floor to enjoy a game of pool while you watch your favorite sport on the wall-mounted HD TV. On this level, there are two more bedrooms with private baths, a built-in desk, wet bar and 2 porches - one overlooking a pristine salt marsh to the east and the ocean beyond and, to the west, the Intracoastal Waterway. This level boasts a very wide, open deck with an outdoor fireplace. No detail was overlooked in this exquisite home. $2,600,000 Have a question?
