Welcome to your private coastal retreat—this custom-built bayfront home is a showcase of quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and sustainable living. Meticulously maintained and never rented, this residence offers a peaceful sanctuary with stunning bay views and first-class amenities. Step inside to an open-concept layout featuring inviting color palette and low-maintenance COREtec flooring. The chef's kitchen is outfitted with quartz countertops, stainless GE Profile appliances, and a smart, stylish flow perfect for entertaining. Spa-like tiled bathrooms, walk-in showers, and 9' ceilings elevate the comfort throughout. Walls of 7' tall impact-rated windows and glass doors frame breathtaking bayfront vistas. The entire home is energy self-sufficient, thanks to a battery backup solar system that contributes to very low monthly electric costs. Enjoy over 345' of private dock with rope-trimmed railings leading to your 10,000 pound capacity boat lift, with 12,000 pound capacity, 8' wide straps. The dock is also wired for power and plumbed for water. Shoreline riprap extends beyond the lot lines, providing extra erosion protection with a small break in the rocks to launch your kayaks or paddle boards. Catch fish or crab from the dock, rinse off in the enclosed outdoor shower, and relax on expansive covered decks on both the 2nd and 3rd floors. Practical touches include an elevator to all floors, under-house parking and entertainment space (14' x 30'), easy-access platforms via full set of stairs for the solar system and HVAC, and low-maintenance landscaping. Whole-home water filtration system provides enhanced water quality and added peace of mind. This is more than just a home—it's a testament to quality, sustainability, and the bayfront lifestyle.
