ONE OF A KIND SOUND EXPERIENCE!
This custom built 5 bedroom home speaks luxury in every respect. Panoramic views of the water take your breath away from the moment you open the front door. Twelve foot ceilings adorn the grand living space with gorgeous coffered beam-work. The flooring is hand-scraped teak and there are craftsman finishes at every turn.
COMFORT FEATURES ABOUND!
The open floor plan makes indoor and outdoor spaces merge. Everyone can fellowship together whether cooking in the gourmet kitchen or lounging under the covered patio - or - whether grilling at the outdoor barbecue station or relaxing in the comfortable living room. Huge hurricane glass windows protect and invite in the natural light... giving visibility to the beautiful pool and the sound waters beyond.
FUNCTIONAL SPACE FRAMED IN 2x6 QUALITY CONSTRUCTION!
The remainder of the first floor living quarters boast ten foot ceilings, a downstairs primary bedroom en suite, a generous laundry area, and easy access to the garage. Midflight up the stairs is a large room over the garage with a wet bar and that can function as a sleeping area or the ultimate game room.
TOP LEVEL AMENITIES & TECHNOLOGY!
The second floor contains the final three exquisite bedrooms (two with balcony access and ridiculous water views), a second laundry room, and copious amounts of storage including a step-in attic space.
From a tankless water heater, water softener - filter & pump, a central vacuum system, a whole house sound system, and security system... There are too many features to list (see documents section). This house provides a convenient livable experience.
ISLAND LIVING AT ITS FINEST!
The property is situated high above sea level. It is waterfront. Every inch of the lot is landscaped. On the walk from the pool to the dock there is a raised garden box where you can plant your favorite flowers, herbs, or vegetables. The dock has two boat lifts (13K & 4.5K) and a gazebo with a metal roof. Water and power extend to the end where there is a fish cleaning station, a dock box, and a a large floating dock.
This house comes fully furnished. Plus, the boat and jet skis are negotiable.
