    What's special

    Geothermal hvacBoat liftSought-after bayfront propertiesDouble jet ski liftLarge work islandSweeping water viewsCozy family room
    Located on one of the most sought-after bayfront properties, with water on three sides, this sophisticated modern beach home offers unparalleled panoramic water views from every room. Complete with a private 50-foot dock, boat lift, and double jet ski lift, this exceptional residence was thoughtfully designed by award-winning architects and built by one of the area’s most highly sought-after luxury home builders, featuring high-end finishes and craftsmanship throughout. The expansive great room, with floor-to-ceiling windows, effortlessly frames sweeping water views and seamlessly blends the living, dining, and gourmet kitchen spaces. A large work island, bar seating, and premium appliances elevate this culinary and entertaining space, with easy access to a screened porch and open deck offering views that cannot be duplicated. The main level also includes a cozy family room, two guest bedrooms, a full bathroom, and a convenient powder room for guests. Upstairs, the bayfront primary suite serves as a tranquil retreat with its own private waterfront deck. Three generously sized guest rooms each feature en-suite bathrooms, ensuring ample space and privacy for visitors. On the ground level, a spacious workshop and covered patio provide the perfect setting for crab feasts and relaxation, while the brick paver patio offers an ideal spot for evening marshmallow roasts by the water. An outdoor shower with a changing area makes cleanup after a day on the beach or boat a breeze. A two-car garage, plus a separate one-car garage, provides ample storage and convenience for vehicles, beach gear, kayaks, canoes, boating accessories, and bikes. Additional highlights include energy efficiency as a certified National Green Building Standard home, geothermal HVAC, and a location that is truly impossible to duplicate—situated on its own private point on a peninsula with sweeping views of the bay, secluded pond, and wetlands, yet just moments from the beach. Homes of this caliber, in such a prime location, are a rare offering.
