A remarkable waterfront estate, astounding in its impeccable refinement as it presides over a spectacular 5+acre peninsula. This residence is an aesthete's dream and is perfect for the discerning, the practical and the lover of the outdoors. It enjoys the rarest benefit of over 625 bulkheaded feet on a wide expanse of the Bay River & over 275 additional feet on the protected waters of Rice's Creek. Unique in its design, with a dramatic, contemporary appeal, the home is graced throughout with natural light and amazing water views! It harmonizes effortlessly with the surrounding private setting - its immense vaulted great room and most downstairs rooms usher you through waterside doors to an elevated wraparound patio and a 14'3'' x 24'10'' tiled screened porch from which to enjoy it all. A wide, bookcased corridor guides you into a lavish master wing. The bedroom has a fireplace, 9'7'' x 14'7'' dressing closet, a sparkling luxury bath & views. A commercial kitchen is a central hub, extensively graced by new granite work, cabinetry and state-of-the art appliances which will entice the gourmet's creativity. The cozy, convivial family/media room features a large TV, cabinets & library shelves. Upstairs are two comfortable bedrooms for your guests. The climate-controlled garage has a workshop and a spacious finished suite above, with a full, tiled bath! Manicured grounds merge artfully w/the natural setting-- endless views out the Bay River being in the foreground, serene creek views to the side and the extensive winding forest paths to allow private strolls under the mature trees to a variety of relaxation areas. You'll love the firepit seating & the huge, sandy beach area from which the best fishing around happens! A concrete pier awaits with a large, protected slip & dual jet ski lifts... See full feature sheet. The best of Coastal Living is yours at last! This fine property and all of its newly added attributes are wondrous -- you must see them. Welcome Home!
