From the moment you step onto the front porch, the home sets the tone for an elevated lifestyle defined by elegance, privacy, and a seamless connection to the water. Built in 2012 with enduring craftsmanship, the home's classic symmetry, deep covered porches, and architectural detailing reflect the grace and longevity of Southern Colonial design. Poured-concrete porches, smooth stucco finishes, brick-accented entry steps, custom fencing, and fiberglass colonial shutters create a composed and welcoming facade, while a commercial-grade gate operator provides secure, seamless entry.

Oak floors in custom lengths and widths ground the main living areas, flowing effortlessly through the open great room and casual dining space with understated sophistication. The kitchen blends tailored design with effortless functionality, serving as both a visual centerpiece and a highly livable space. Custom cabinetry, quartz countertops and backsplash, designer lighting, and a premier appliance suite-including a 48" Sub-Zero refrigerator, 48" Wolf gas range, Cove dishwasher, beverage refrigerator, and pantry-make it perfectly suited for intimate gatherings or elevated entertaining. Upstairs, the primary suite serves as a true spa-like retreat, offering exceptional privacy, comfort, and quiet luxury.
