Luxurious Design-Forward Home with Boat Slip & Water Views This exceptional residence blends refined architecture, high-end finishes, and thoughtfully engineered systems to deliver effortless luxury indoors and out--enhanced by water views and a boat slip located just across the street. The slip offers approximately 4' of water at low tide, a 15' beam, 25' length, and a 12,000 lb lift with remote--an outstanding and rare amenity for boating enthusiasts. A new roof (2022) crowns the home alongside 39 solar panels, offering modern efficiency without compromising style. Premium DP-50 windows and exterior doors flood the interior with natural light while enhancing comfort and performance, supported by dual 3.5-ton HVAC systems and an electric tankless water heater. At the heart of the home, the chef's kitchen is a showpiece--featuring dual 33'' Fisher & Paykel refrigerators with drawer freezers, a 48'' professional range with 6 burners and double dual-fuel gas ovens with griddle, beverage center, ice maker, custom range hood with pot filler, and porcelain countertops with book-matched backsplash. Entertain effortlessly by the linear gas fireplace in the living room, or step out to the grilling deck overlooking the water with a direct gas line to the grill just off the kitchen. The primary suite is a private retreat with a spa-inspired wet room, complete with an acrylic soaking tub, dual shower heads with handhelds, and an auto-flush bidet/toilet. Throughout the home, enjoy solid core smooth interior doors, designer lighting, and custom bound rugs that elevate main spaces. Step outside to true resort living: a 40' x 16' fiberglass saltwater pool with gas heater, expansive covered pool patio with outdoor shower, and five decks featuring stainless wire and IPE railings (metal on the front). The 400 SF Sun/Chill deck off the primary bedroom is framed to support a future hot tub, while the 1,500 SF garage boasts two insulated, high-wind-rated doors--ideal for collectors, hobbies, or additional storage. This is more than a home--it's a meticulously curated lifestyle property where luxury, comfort, and craftsmanship meet coastal living at its finest.
