Exquisite, stately, and perfectly situated on a 1.47-acre parcel of waterfront property that provides unobstructed views of Harness Creek, the South River, and the Bay, this French Country estate offers everything the discerning homeowner could want and more.
A subtly winding drive conveys guests to this exceptional 8,200-square-foot manor style home designed to enliven and inspire its inhabitants with its tranquility and panache.
The inspiration begins in this home’s spacious foyer that leads into the residence’s formal living room with its wall of floor-to-ceiling windows to the waterfront. The pale and blush color palette here provides an uninterrupted overview of the water’s proximity and the home’s lush backyard that leads to its private sandy beach. Stone fireplaces on opposite sides of the room frame the space with an elegant yet comforting air. Opulent wood trim work is evident throughout.
This centerpiece of a room flows to the kitchen and then formal dining room on one side and then to the family’s more private and casual living spaces on the opposite side. The kitchen is a conceptual masterpiece of fine modern design with its sleek, modern finishings, and high-end, stainless-steel appliances. The nearly all white palette is punctuated with a central island of sandy wood and flawless stone countertops. Like the rest of the main level living spaces, the kitchen floors are outfitted with white oak hardwoods. The morning’s coffee can be enjoyed at the lovely, café-style seating area for two overlooking the waterfront.
A set of double doors leads to the formal dining room which is bathed in an abundance of natural light. A custom-painted mural highlights the space with a vision of a bucolic seascape.
The more casual water-facing family room is located on the opposite side of the living room and is prized for its amazing views and an attractive wall of built-ins.
This level of the residence also features a lovely study where the homeowners can utilize the convenience of the home’s elevator to the upper floors, where the spacious primary suite awaits.
This room has three sets of large windows looking out to the water and separate fireside seating area.
The en suite bath is a world of its own with separate his and hers vanities, a luxurious soaking tub overlooking the water, and a massive glass shower. The suite opens to a to-die-for room-sized walk-in wardrobe with custom built-ins.
This home provides a total of seven bedrooms, most with water views and en suite baths, an au pair suite above the garage, and an expanded lower level that features a large, second family room with fireplace, and a communal gathering and casual dining area.
This space overlooks the water and perhaps the property’s best asset among many, its outdoor recreation area with a sumptuous in-ground pool and surrounding patio area. Whether they choose to lounge here or catch some sun on the curved upper deck above, this home’s new owners have the ultimate vantage point from which to take in the Bay.
