Description

No expense was spared in the complete transformation of this extraordinary waterfront residence! Buyers will appreciate the luxury features, functionality, and timeless craftsmanship that come together to create a truly one-of-a-kind home. Thoughtfully designed for both everyday comfort and long-term living, the home offers accessibility and "aging in place" features including a first-floor bedroom and full bath, widened doorways, barrier-free bathrooms, wheelchair-friendly kitchen design, and future-ready accommodations for additional accessibility upgrades. Every detail was carefully considered—from the maintenance-free exterior materials and Anderson 400 Series Low-E windows strategically positioned to maximize breathtaking water views, to the custom cabinetry, imported Italian tile, Dekton countertops, and stunning quartzite finishes. The gourmet kitchen is equipped with GE Café smart appliances, a Zephyr range hood, custom cabinetry with premium storage solutions, and thoughtful features including a hands-free water-saving foot pedal and concealed power outlets. The home seamlessly blends luxury with cutting-edge technology. App-controlled smart home systems allow remote operation of the lighting, motorized shades, HVAC, security, cameras, Yale WiFi lock, heated bathroom floors, water heater, and major appliances from virtually anywhere in the world. Lutron RadioRA 3 lighting creates customizable scenes throughout the home, while designer lighting, under-cabinet illumination, and a dramatic porcelain fireplace wall provide an inviting atmosphere day and night. The spa-inspired bathrooms feature heated porcelain floors, Toto Washlet bidets, custom vanities, ultra-quiet automatic moisture-sensing ventilation, and elegant wet-room designs that are both beautiful and exceptionally easy to maintain. Outdoor living is equally impressive. Enjoy spectacular waterfront sunsets from the maintenance-free deck beneath the motorized Sunsetter awning or head to the private dock, complete with electricity, water, fish-cleaning station, dock box, Marina Mate system, and a 10,000-pound Hi-Tide boat lift. Additional thoughtful upgrades include spray foam insulation, gutter guards, an insulated attic, powered workshop shed, raised garden beds, multiple exterior hose bibs with interior shutoffs, and countless energy-efficient enhancements throughout. Adding to the home's unique character, the current owners thoughtfully preserved pieces of its rich history, incorporating original hardware, historical photographs, and even the property's original 1920s rental agreement into the renovation as a tribute to the home's remarkable legacy. Furniture, décor, kitchenware, tools, and numerous additional items are available for purchase separately, offering the opportunity to enjoy this exceptional waterfront retreat exactly as it has been curated. A comprehensive list of custom upgrades, smart home features, specialty finishes, and construction details is available upon request. This is a home that simply must be experienced in person to fully appreciate the extraordinary level of planning, craftsmanship, and investment that went into every detail.
